The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to
choose from.
RFC 2741 (Agent Extensibility (AgentX) Protocol):
8.2.1. Well-known Values
The master agent creates a well-known UNIX-domain socket endpoint
called "/var/agentx/master". (It may create other, implementation-
specific endpoints.)
This endpoint name uses the character set encoding native to the
managed node, and represents a UNIX-domain stream (SOCK_STREAM)
socket.
Thanks,
Jochen
