I'm trying to set up and "sandbox" (I don't know if that's the right term or no) for building and installing packages w/out actually installing them on the system, in a chroot environment. I don't imagine that I'll need any socket files, but I'm curious. I have two socket type files that I stumbled upon: srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Jun 14 07:27 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 14 07:27 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket Is there some way to create or copy them using shell commands? From what I can tell from a brief google, they're created by a C program. Would someone please clue me in?
