• peeked user names override authenticate
• peek is only called once after the stream connection has been accepted

method authenticate : t ->
       connection_id ->
       Unix.sockaddr option ->
       Unix.sockaddr option ->
       string ->
       string -> string -> string -> (auth_result -> unit) -> unit

This method is called when a remote call has arrived. Its task is to determine the client user and pass the user name (and the verifier) back. If the user cannot be authenticated, the call must be rejected. When the method has done the authentication, it calls the passed function with the auth_result. This function can be called immediately or asynchronously.
