[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] added a privileged pipe

[Sumit Bose]

Hi,

in some off-list discussion the scm_credentials solution was found not
to be portable enough. This patch creates a second, privileged, pipe
which only root can access. A flag in the client connection context
indicates whether the connection was made via the privileged pipe or
not. This information can be forwarded to the backend which can decided
if they want to allow privileged operation or not.

bye,
Sumit
