unix domain socket permissions

[Jan Danielsson <jan.m.danielsson%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello,

   A while back I read that unix domain sockets originally didn't care
about permissions; or rather, they had permissions, but the OS didn't
validate them when applications attempted to use socket.  But the other
day I read a somewhat recent blog which stated that this is not true for
Linux, but it is true "for BSD" -- and the phrasing could be interpreted
as meaning "still to this day".

   I have serious doubts, but currently do not have a NetBSD system to
test this on.

   Permissions are checked for unix domain sockets on ~recent NetBSD, right?
