Yes, for more precision. If you configured lxc without a private network
stack, the sockets can communicate as they are shared with the system,
but if you configure lxc with its own private network stack, you can
*only* communicate through an AF_UNIX socket if the socket file is
visible in the container's file system (in case mount bind works here).
