You can't bind a socket on a read-only fs, so I thought it was a fair question.

I'll write a patch to add MS_NOIPCCONNECT and MNT_NOIPCCONNECT to
block connect on unix sockets and open on fifos.  This will be useful
for sandboxes that want to prevent sandboxed programs from accessing
undesirable parts of the outside world.
