           Summary: /tmp/ssh-xxxx socket directories clutter up /tmp
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh-agent
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: simons+mindrot at cryp.to


Would it be possible to put the directories holding the ssh-agent's socket to
some other location than /tmp? I am asking, because on a highly frequented
system, those directories clutter-up /tmp significantly. Maybe /var/run or
/var/spool/sockets would be a more appropriate place for them? Or would you
consider using /tmp/.ssh-xxxx instead so that at least the directories are not
visible all the time, like X11 and others do it?

Thanks!
