	The control channel is /var/run/ndc.d/ndc by default in 8.3.1
	on Solaris.  If you are getting /var/run/ndc then you have a
	old ndc.  If /var/run/ndc is working and you don't have a
	controls block overriding the default path you have a old
	named running and unless it is the patched version from Sun
	it is insecure as it is less than 8.2.3.

        --- 8.2.3-REL released ---
	
	....

 924.   [port]          sunos solaris: #define NEED_SECURE_DIRECTORY to
                        secure the directory containing unix domain socket
                        rather than the socket itself.
