Just following up, after Josh's reply: I don't understand the bit
about write access. I don't think there's a priori a requirement
to write something. Can you explain a bit more?
If there's no parent/child relationship between the two processes,
the only way to create a UNIX domain socket connection between them
is by one process creating a listening socket. That requires write
access to some part of the file system, no?
I wouldn't have said "write access to the file system", but I get the
point. "/tmp/" should always be there (if not, something's way off in
the weeds).
