Which is not necessarily related to the permissions on the file. Windows
socket is an in-memory object, the file is used merely for naming purposes.

Does the not? Can you connect to a socket with user that should not have
permissions after you have changed them?

> And fchmod() for a bound Unix socket works on Linux and many other Unix flavors, actually.

"Works", all right. But HOW does it works? Aren't the permissions seen on the
socket file merely a coincidence/convenience?
