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.

radmin uses it. Not much else does, tho. I can't think of any use-case for RADIUS over unix domain sockets. Alan DeKok.
