Jeff, I did set the policy to permissive. If I get some time I'll try again. Craig On Sat, May 23, 2020 at 10:30 PM wrote: > Thanks Craig. > The --specials now works (and I agree with both you and Michael that > it is not useful... but it validates that the restore is 'perfect' as > far as

While I agree with Michael that restoring sockets isn't that useful (since they are only created by a process that is receiving connections on a unix-domain socket), I did fix the bug that causes them to be
