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
