It's not a named pipe, it's a named socket which has quite different
semantics (it behaves like a network interface that can accept
connections from multiple sources rather than a simple pipe). What you
suggest doesn't work; you get EROFS when you try to bind() to the socket
because the Linux unix domain sockets implementation requires that you
have read/write access to the socket file.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer
