So my question is - Why doesn't ssh-agent default the location of the
socket file to some well known fixed secure location such
$HOME/.ssh/agent?
$HOME might be on a nfs server, so -a $HOME/.ssh/agent
is not the default.
How is having the socket file on an NFS server a problem? I know that
other applications do it, such as evolution / spamd:
/home/sle/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-socket-path-bz4CuE
I'm not sure that evolution do the right things.
Maybe ~/.evolution/cache point to directory under $TMPDIR where we can expect
write access.
As example KDE directory ~/.kde/socket-localhost point to /tmp/ksocket-$USER/
and this is fine.
