    I got one!

    What constrains access to an rpc socket in the file system? Is it just the permissions of the socket or is there more to the whole process?

    E: I originally wrote port instead of socket because it was early lol.

        I meant to write socket instead of port because I was tired.

        If for example a program can take rpc over a socket which is a file somewhere is it just the filesystem permissions that determine what can be done or is there more at play?
