RCR: UNIX credentials

There is also a way – I’m not sure HOW offhand – to get some/most of
this information on Windows; things like Kerio Personal Firewall do it
to know which process is trying to go outbound.

To get a feel before submitting a real RCR:

Abstract:
Add calls to UNIXSocket to pass around the UNIX credentials
(i.e. pid, |uid and gid).

Problem:
There is no way, that I know of, within Ruby to find out
which process is connected at the other end of a UNIX socket.
I like the idea. But I don’t want to merge it if it’s Linux
specific. Any idea?
