[Unbound-users] [PATCH] UNIX sockets support for unbound-control

[Ilya Bakulin]

Hi Yuri,
OK, thanks for clarification!

I'm attaching a bit modified patch. What's changed is that now unbound sets 
the owner group of socket to the group of "username" user (specified in the 
config file). We at genua found it very useful, because by default the socket 
is created with root:wheel. And we set chmod 0660 on the socket file.
The code that retrieves uid/gid is identical to the code in daemon.c. I have 
copied it because since this patch is not going to be committed, I want to 
keep differences to original code as localized as possible :-)

This patch is released by genua mbh under BSD license.
