   > The typical umask is 0027, meaning full access for tomcat itself, read access for members of the tomcat group (so that logfiles can be read but not changed), and no access for anyone else.
   >
   > The unix domain socket is useless if you can't write to it. What that means is that only the tomcat user can send requests to tomcat, and members of the tomcat group can't send requests at all, which is completely pointless.
   
   Exactly, that's the whole problem.
   
   > To be in any way useful the socket must be writable, and to do that it either needs to default to being writable, or needs to explicitly set as writable with at least `pathPermissions="rw-rw----"`.
   
   So not to undermine the default umask, are we good to take your `pathPermissions="rw-rw----"` proposal?
