Replying to [comment:5 yawning]:
> Maybe tor should provide a `ControlPort` instance out of the box, and if
it does, sure, it should be an AF_UNIX socket on systems that have
AF_UNIX. But it currently does not, and if things were to change that
way, then what's the point of a magic superuser socket in the first place.
Yes, tor should have always-on UNIX socket for ControlPort.
You are right, no need for the "magic" superuser socket when
authentication tokens on UNIX socket work. Tor instance can learn the
connected user credentials through it. Notable example of this is MySQL
server.
