In glibc 2.1.92 (Redhat 7.0), the documentation says in node 'Local
Namespace Concepts':
: In the local namespace socket addresses are file names. You can
: specify any file name you want as the address of the socket, but you
: must have write permission on the directory containing it. In order to
: connect to a socket you must have read permission for it. It's common
: to put these files in the `/tmp' directory.
At least on the system I'm sitting at you must have *write* permission to
connect to such a socket; the read permission doesn't matter.
