sorry, didn't follow that, so please excuse me if this has been answered
elsewhere. What's the matter with permissions?

I'd create a group `rrdcached' and put both, the `rrdcached' damon and
the webserver into that group. (Assuming that you use some CGI to greate
graphs on the fly.)

After that you just have to assure that the `rrdcached' group has write
permissions to the socket. I think setting the umask to `0002' before
starting the daemon should do the trick.

Explicitly configuring the desired permissions would be nice to have,
though. I don't have a good idea how this could be specified on the
command line, especially since the `-l' option can be repeated..

Regards,
