We're using a directory rather than binding a socket directly for increased robustness. In theory, if gssproxy crashes on the host, a new socket that a new gssproxy process creates should be immediately visible inside the sandbox. Nifty. Previously, applications that wanted to use Kerberos authentication would have to punch a sandbox hole for the host's KCM socket. In contrast, this gssproxy socket is designed for use by sandboxed apps. See also: https://github.com/gssapi/gssproxy/issues/45
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.
See https://flatpak.org/ for more information.
