You will need to put the socket in a directory with the appropriate permissions. Note that any user on the system can connect() to a UNIX socket if they can see the directory entry for it, regardless of the permissions on the socket entry itself. If the socket server is not using getpeerucred(3C) or equivalent to inspect the credentials of the connecting process, you should put the socket in a directory owned by the user with mode 0700 to prevent connections from unauthorised processes.
