Hi,

I am not sure whether this is a bug or just has not been implemented for 
XPUB sockets. Basically, I use zmq authentication - SUB socket is my 
client, XPUB is my server - and I would like to see who subscribed to my 
XPUB server. When I try to get a User-Id from the subscribe/unsubscribe 
messages, I get Invalid argument exception. If I do the same for DEALER 
- DEALER, everything works.

I use pyzmq 14.4.0 with libzmq 4.1.0 rc1.

Python exception:

Set up authenticator

DEBUG:zmq.auth:version: '1.0', request_id: '1', domain: u'', address: 
u'127.0.0.1', identity: '', mechanism: 'CURVE'
