Hi,

I would like to report an issue when using Netplex with a UNIX socket.

There is, as far as I know, no way to indicate the socket permission.
Therefore, when launching a netplex server process, the socket ends up with
default system permission (generally 755).
Hence, clients with different UID cannot properly exchange with the server.

This is a serious limitation when using this socket backend.
It would be preferable to have fine-grained access to the desired socket
permissions for instance from the netplex configuration file.

Regards,

Thomas C.
