[PATCH] udevd - client access authorization
Here is the badly needed client authorization for udevd. Since we switched to abstract namespace sockets, we are unable to control the access of the socket by file permissions. So here we send a ancillary credential message with every datagram, to be able to verify the uid of the sender. The sender can't fake the credentials, cause the kernel doesn't allow it for non root users. udevd is still working with klibc here :)
