Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 165d5c1260 os: Update GetLocalClientCreds to prefer getpeerucred() or SO_PEERCRED over getpeereid()
GetLocalClientCreds() was preferring getpeereid() above other implementations.

getpeereid(), however, only returns the effective uid and gid of the peer,
leaving the pid unset.  When this happens, we are unable to use the pid to
determine the peer's command line arguments and incorrectly treat ssh-tunneled
traffic as local.

To address this, we now prioritize getpeerucred() or SO_PEERCRED as those two
implementations will return the pid in addition to uid and gid.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
