Why don't people use unix domain sockets for local connections? They are pretty much the same thing as local IP connections, except access rights apply as on files, so you're not exposing connections to pretty much all processes.
Domain sockets can be forwarded via ssh with the same -L and -R arguments, including cross unix/ip forwardings.
- chaosfox 6y agolast time I tried ssh does not delete the socket file when the connection closes and complains the file already exists on a new connection.
- aidenn0 6y agoIt's a relatively recent feature in openssh (in the past decade for upstream; not sure when it first landed in an Ubuntu LTS, which for practical purposes is the earliest one might start using it regularly)
