[apologies if this appears twice; I thought I had sent it but it hasn't
appeared anywhere]
The attached patch implements a method of connection authentication for
Unix sockets that support SCM_CREDENTIALS. This includes Linux kernels
2.2 and 2.4 at least; I don't know what other implementations support
it.
Since it is not universally supported, I have included a configure test.
autoconf needs to be run after installing the patch.
This patch provides a new authentication method "peer" for use with
"local" connections; otherwise it works exactly like the "ident" method.
Please consider including this in PostgreSQL.
