[SOLVED] Wrong permissions on fail2ban.sock

I have a problem with fail2ban. For some reason fail2ban creates its socket in /var/run/fail2ban with chmod 1700 and fails2start because it can't read from it.

If I chmod 1777 the socket everything works fine, but that's not very reliable. Any idea what could be wrong here?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just needed to run fail2ban-client as root.
