It's a hack, but here's what I do.  This is a script I call "start" and
I use it in place of the Interchange restart script.

#!/bin/sh
ic="/opt/interchange"
su -f -c $ic/bin/restart ichange
chmod 0660 $ic/etc/socket
chmod 0770 $ic/etc/socket.ipc
chown ichange:httpd $ic/etc/socket $ic/etc/socket.ipc
