Description
There are four related methods that are part of the Solaris extensions:
- gss_localname
- gss_userok
- gss_pname_to_uid
- gss_authorize_localname
(we should probably also have, optionally, GSS_C_ATTR_LOCAL_LOGIN_USER as well)

Research direction
Start by locating the existing binding entry points for gss_localname, gss_userok, gss_pname_to_uid, and gss_authorize_localname, then review how related GSS extensions are exposed. Check the Solaris extension behavior and decide whether GSS_C_ATTR_LOCAL_LOGIN_USER belongs in scope; done means the four methods are implemented and their behavior is covered by appropriate tests.
