At some point, Unix-domain sockets were made modular.  Double-check your
configuration, making sure that you enable these.  Can anyone explain the
rationale behind making sockets optional?  It is churning up a lot of
support questions..  

Perhaps the config "help" function ought to make mention of the various
critical daemons and applications which fail utterly in the absence of
Unix sockets?
