New description:
#12585 implemented SOCKSPort unix socket support, thus allowing proxying
inet connections over a unix socket. Unfortunately, the config options
only this SOCKSPort to be accessable for the Tor user, or at best, the Tor
group (i.e. debian-tor). This makes it quite unuseful for normal users who
aren't usually members of that group. Perhaps a new config option should
be added which specifies the file socket ownership.
(dgoulet reminded me SocksSocket was merged into SocksPort)
