AFAIK, only a single Linux user can access the same database file at the
same time. You can have multiple applications accessing the same
database file, but they must all be "owned" by the same Linux user. This
is because only one user can hold a lock on that file.

If you need multiple different users to access the file, you have to go
through TCP/IP, i.e. full server.
