Comment(by andrea):

 I say where I want my control socket in my torrc; I suppose if I tried to
 run two tor processes it'd break horribly.  Yeah, the same thing applies
 to AF_UNIX as to named pipes; the addresses for the AF_UNIX address family
 are actually just paths to a socket node.  My torrc has:

 ControlSocket /var/run/tor/control
 ControlSocketsGroupWritable 1

 ... and then I get:

 root at dysnomia:~ [5]# ls -l /var/run/tor
 total 4
 srw-rw---- 1 tor tor  0 Sep 16 16:00 control
 -rw-r----- 1 tor tor 32 Sep 16 16:00 control_auth_cookie
