Solaris 2.6 and sockets

[wojtek () TRYC ON CA (Wojciech Tryc)]

I have noticed strange things happening under Solaris 2.6 (final release)
Any Unix socket created by ANY application has permissions 4777!!!!
ie: srwxrwxrwx 1 root root      0 Oct   3 21:22 mysql.sock
Check out your /tmp directory :)

Here is a sample code (by Nirva):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/un.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    struct sockaddr_un addr;
    int s;

    s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

    bzero(&addr, sizeof(addr));
    addr.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
    strcpy(addr.sun_path, "/tmp/yoursocket");
    if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) {
        perror("bind");
        exit(1);
    }
    sleep(100);

    exit(0);
}
