There are several techniques you could be referring to:

<http://www.dwheeler.com/secure-programs/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/sockets.html>

but they all sound to me like complicated and nonportable hacks. Which one
did you mean?

SCM_CREDENTIALS on Linux, SCM_CREDS on some versions of BSD, SO_PEERNAME on some other Unices.

They all do just about the same thing. Just have to choose the right mechanism at compile time.
