Server-interpreted Authentication Types "localuser" and "localgroup": On systems which can determine in a secure fashion the credentials of a client process, the "localuser" and "localgroup" authentication methods provide access based on those credentials. The format of the values provided is platform specific. For POSIX & UNIX platforms, if the value starts with the character '#', the rest of the string shall be treated as a decimal uid or gid, otherwise the string is defined as a user name or group name. Systems offering this MUST not simply trust a user supplied value (such as an environment variable or IDENT protocol response). It is expected many systems will only support this for clients running on the same host using a local IPC transport. Examples: xhost +SI:localuser:alanc xhost +SI:localuser:#1234 xhost +SI:localgroup:wheel xhost +SI:localgroup:#0 $XdotOrg: $
