Redirecting TCP-traffic to a UNIX domain socket under Linux

by

Turns out socat can be used to achieve this:

socat TCP-LISTEN:1234,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/foo

And with a bit of added security:

socat TCP-LISTEN:1234,bind=127.0.0.1,reuseaddr,fork,su=nobody,range=127.0.0.0/8 UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/foo

These examples have been tested and work as expected.
