problem w/ctlinnd using unix domain sockets on SCO unix (w/workaround)

First off I have to tell you that INN is great software that compiled
and installed easily!

I ran into one problem.  Any command with ctlinnd gave a response of
"(sendto failure) Destination address not specified."  Everything else
worked fine.  I traced it down via some old v1.7 FAQ's to a unix domain
socket problem but couldn't figure out where a permissions problem was
if there was one.  I wound up commenting out HAVE_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS in
include/config.h and everything has been working perfectly since.

My configure options are:
	--with-spool-dir=/usr/spool/news
	--with-tmp-path=/usr/spool/news/tmp
	--with-perl
	--enable-uucp-rnews
	--enable-setgid-inews
	--with-sendmail=/usr/lib/sendmail
	--with-news-master=news

My environment is:
	Inn v2.3.2
	SCO Unix v5.0.5
	SCO Unix development libraries v5.1.1A
	gcc version 2.7.2.3
