[ovs-dev] ovsdb-server unix socket permission

[Tony Liu]

Hi,

The ovsdb-server UNIX socket permission is 0750. It works
fine for OVS services, like ovs-vswitchd and ovn-controller
who run as root.

When integrate with OpenStack, neutron-ovn-metadata-agent
running as user "neutron" needs to connect to ovsdb-server.
TCP connection works fine. But, since it's local connection,
it would be better to use UNIX socket to get better performance
and avoid inactivity probe.

So, is there any option for ovsdb-server to create UNIX socket
with permission 0777? Or any better option for the agent to
connect to UNIX socket?


Thanks!
Tony
