Hi Rodney, how's it going?  There isn't much to do to change eb-lite 
from using TCP sockets to unix domain sockets, just change the socket 
init code in the eb-lite server, and in the client that talks to it.  I 
think you'd just have to change AF_INET to AF_UNIX in gui_comms.c, and 
of course, specify the socket filename.

You'd do the same in the client.

try the command line client.  It's only for testing really, but should 
be sufficient.
