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

 ***********************************************************************
 WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
<p>

 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.
