As I understand it

fd=socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

I don't know how syslog-ng can accept to be told to listen on such a socket.

netcat

can do the job of Echo in such a way (see -U switch)

There exists a

mksock

from the MAKEDEV package, it has no manpage, I am afriad that's as much
as I know.
