Mono.Posix 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Object When using Unix domain sockets (via or , for example) most operating systems support the passing of credentials through the socket. Generally, the process id (PID) of the application on the other side of the connection as well as the group ID (GID) and user ID (UID) of the executing user are available.
