Detailed Description

Settings related to authenticating clients for the Nix daemon.

For pipes we have little good information about the client side, but for Unix domain sockets we do. So currently these options implemented mandatory access control based on user names and group names (looked up and translated to UID/GIDs in the CLI process that runs the code in this file).

No code outside of this file knows about these settings (this is not exposed in a header); all authentication and authorization happens in daemon.cc.
