   This is now the time you should speek up if something important is
   missing.

I'm not really happy with the defenition of `struct ucred' in
`bits/socket.h'.  It uses the typical Linux ``I don't care about name-space
pollution'' short names for its members.  NetBSD uses `struct
sockcred' and its members have a sc_ prefix.  Maybe we should use

struct sockcred
{
  pid_t sc_pid;
  uid_t sc_uid;
  gid_t sc_gid;
};

or

struct sockcred
{
  pid_t sc_pid;
  uid_t sc_euid;
  gid_t sc_egid;
};

I'll investigate this a bit more tomorrow, but I am very interested in
the opionions of the other hackers on the list.

Mark
