           Summary: ssh-agent doesnt respect $TMPDIR
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.6p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-agent
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

openssh-ssh-agent-tmpdir.patch

the ssh-agent program hardcodes the /tmp/ path:
   if (agentsocket == NULL) {
       /* Create private directory for agent socket */
       strlcpy(socket_dir, "/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXXXX", sizeof socket_dir);

this doesnt respect a user's TMPDIR preference and can obviously break
if /tmp/ is screwed up (full/whatever), but TMPDIR is pointing to a
usable location.

here is an untested patch, but looks straight forward to me :p
