hi all,

i've got 2 quick questions:

note: i'm doing both of these within the kernel.

1)  what is the proper way of getting the uid and gid of a process from the 
proc struct?  can i just p->p_cred->p_ruid, or would p_svuid be better?  or 
is there a macro or someting i'm missing?

2) how to i determine what protocol a socket is using?  i want to be able to 
differentiate between a TCP/UDP/ICMP socket.  i was looking at the protosw 
struct, but couln't find the values for the pr_protocol member.  where are 
they located?

thanks,
--joe
