Here, the socket is bound to a name in the file system, and directory
access permissions are in effect (the permissions on the socket
name itself may not have any observable effect).

This is not subject to directory access permissions. Any process
on the local machine can talk to the opendkim service.

Both would work.

One can have directory access permissions, the other is world
readable (for processes on the same machine).
