As far as I recall, the documentation reflects the fact that 
__listener__ (not just socket) permissions can be used to limit the type 
of activity a listener can be used for, at the software level.  That 
code was initially intended to use filsystem-level socket permissions, 
and it should now definitely be removed.  So the documentation is ok 
with respect to slapd-level interpretation of those permissions 
(although of limited use, I admit), while that code is correctly 
undocumented and commented; I'll remove it in a moment.  I've also 
refreshed that docs (slapd(8)) to better explain the use if that feature.
