kernel had a proper interface a library only implementation should be doable
and possibly better), it tries to avoid security hazard associated to
contacting an external server process:</p><ul><li>the server runs under the same privilege level as the client, by
running under the uid, no root or superuser access is involved, this is
checked by both side using kernel support for the checking</li>
<li>when possible (e.g. on Linux) the socket used to communicate is not
mapped at the filesystem level to avoid risks related to opening a real
file, if the kernel doesn't allow this a per user directory holding the
socket is used and appropriate rights are checked.</li>
<li>to limit DoS attacks done by continuously modifying a monitored
resource, the daemon will switch back monitoring of very busy resources
to polling with generation of events only once per second.</li>
</ul><p>Here is the process used to acquire and create the sockets:</p><h3>If there is abstract socket support:</h3><p>Use the filename "\0/tmp/fam-$USER-$GAM_CLIENT_ID". They are not mapped on
the filesystem, no attack is possible that way. The client and the server
checks on the first '\0' byte received from the socket that the other side is
running under the same UID.</p><h3>If there is no abstract socket support:</h3><p>On the server side:</p><pre> start:
try to create /tmp/fam-$USER using mkdir('/tmp/fam-$USER', 007)

if doesn't exist:
