Yes, they are a control message. This works well for SOCK_DGRAM, but not as well for SOCK_STREAM, since w/ SOCK_STREAM you can connect and then never send any data, thus the task wanting the credentials never gets them. I've considered making SOCK_STREAM credentials available once the connect has completed, in the NetBSD implementation. Jason R.
