I must admit I don't understand the reasons for asking for a feature which has no use-cases, which no one implements, and which doesn't add anything useful. One thing I like about Unix domain sockets is using the Unix peer credentials for password-less and secure authc of local client processes.

E.g. OpenLDAP can use LDAPI and authz-regexp to map the POSIX-UID/-GID to LDAP identities. Not sure whether such a use-case would make sense for FreeRADIUS sense though. Ciao, Michael.
