It's unclear to me where you got that from. In all Linux man pages I looked up so far it said S_IFSOCK was supported. But I also tested this now with security_model=none on a Linux host and it works as expected, i.e. it creates a file of type socket on the Linux host filesystem. We are really talking about a Linux host, right? Best regards, Christian Schoenebeck
