As I gather, on VMS the analogous mechanism works since a) every
socket on the system is associated with a unique device name in
some global namespace, and b) once known, an unrelated process
can $ASSIGN that device name, subject to authorization checking
enforced by the system.  The authorization checks seem to be
either, a) a process/subprocess relationship, or b) the
assigning process has the SHARE privilege; it's not clear to me
what else could go into those checks and how that interacts with
e.g. SO_SHARE; presumably at least UIC checks or something must
be completed?

Ok, sure.  But does that mean that there's _no_ authorization
checking of any kind to access the device?  For example, no
checking UICs or ACLs or something?  If I set SO_SHARE on a
socket, can _any_ process on the system, regardless of who it is
running as, access that socket?

Dan, it's been quite a while, so I'd have to research that question.
If I had to guess, I'd expect all VMS protections and such to be respected.  I doubt one could just go out and access any BG device without having access.
