DRb using `drbunix://` on local machine doesn't support that method. In my use case, I need to verify clients via that method. So it would be great if you add support to DRb. Actually that method `#getpeereid()` is from `BaseSocket`, but documentation states that it only supports UNIX sockets. I mean, it's a general method from parent class. So you can do the same with DRb: add some similar method, but only works via `drbunix://` on local machine. Otherwise you can raise error... Thank you, -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
