This looks pretty good! One thing I would suggest would be to consider creating separate types for Linux vs the BSDs. Nix's purpose is to provide a Rusty API to system libraries, not to provide a cross-platform API. If separate types with different APIs solve the invalid uid problem, then it would be worthwhile.

Much improved. I like the new constructorless ControlMessage. Ping me after the libc PR merges and then we can finish this one.

Could this result in cmsg_data being uninitialized? That way might lead to UB. I think that you should zero it instead.

The libc PR (rust-lang/libc#1740) has apparently been merged, if that may be of use to this one. |

ping @myfreeweb . It looks like the libc PR has been merged. Can you finish this one now? |

It's still not released to crates.io.. Okay, switched to git for now. |

This allows working with
SCM_CREDSmessages, which are likeSCM_CREDENTIALSon Linux, but slightly different (always overwritten by the kernel, contain a bit more info — euid and groups).With this PR, it is possible to write portable code that would use the appropriate message for the platform, but one remaining quirk is that
PassCredthing still has to be present andcfg'd to Linux.Adding the
SCM_CREDSconstant to libc: rust-lang/libc#1740
