> Sam Hartman noted that ssh-agent created its socket under /tmp, but it would be better if it respected the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setting and created its socket under /run/user. Boccassi agreed and said that he had filed a bug for ssh-agent. Richard Lewis pointed out that tmux stores its sockets in /tmp/tmux-$UID, and deleting those files might mean users could not reattach to a tmux session that had been idle a long time. Boccassi suggested that using flock() would be the right solution to stop the deletion, and said he had filed a bug on that as well. Ah, yet another group of Linux users looking to get ssh to adopt the XDG specification. Moving ~/.ssh to ~/.config/ssh has been repeatedly requeseted. XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is going to be even harder because it can be nonexistent on BSDs.
