The ``docker`` daemon always runs as the root user, and since Docker version
0.5.2, the ``docker`` daemon binds to a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. By
default that Unix socket is owned by the user *root*, and so, by default, you
can access it with ``sudo``.
Starting in version 0.5.3, if you (or your Docker installer) create a
Unix group called *docker* and add users to it, then the ``docker``
daemon will make the ownership of the Unix socket read/writable by the
*docker* group when the daemon starts. The ``docker`` daemon must

it is trivial for someone to gain root access to the host where the
