Comment (by yurivict271):
So in short it should work this way:
* Same ControlPort protocol should be supported on the UNIX-domain socket
(suggested name /tmp/tor/ctrl.<pid>)
* This socket is always on, unlike 127.0.0.1:9100 which is optional
* This socket reads user credentials of the connected users, and waives
authentication for root. Otherwise authentication works the same.
This modification would be great for tor integration with other systems,
particularly services.
