This module implements system authentication (AUTH_SYS, also known as
AUTH_UNIX).

***********************************************************************
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

This authentication method is insecure because it does not use any
verifier. I strongly dissuade everybody from using this authentication
method for newly written RPC systems. I include it here only for
compatibility with older systems.
