The pathname for ndc's socket is hard-wired into the code. (ndc does
not read named.conf.) So the directory will be whatever BIND8 chose
as the default location for your OS. Take a look at the #ifdef of
_PATH_NDCSOCK in your-OS/bin/ndc/pathnames.h.

You can also give a command line argument to ndc to override this
default. For instance "ndc -c /foobar" will make ndc use /foobar as
the socket for talking to named.
