When using daemon mode locally on my computer it works correctly. However,
if I login (using ssh -Y) to a computer with an emacs daemon running
(started with emacs -Q --daemon) and use emacsclient to connect to it
emacsclient does not find the server. I get the error:
emacsclient -n -c
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor. Please use:
--socket-name
--server-file (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
--alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)
I can get emacsclient to work if I use --server-file option after I have
located the server-file. I have the following bash function which does this
automatically:
emc () { emacsclient -n -c --socket-name="$( (find /var/ -name server | grep
emacs8060) 2> /dev/null )"}
but emacclient should be able to find the socket on its own. Note that this
was present in 23.1 and 23.2 as well.

After sending this bug report I noticed bug # 3992 that mentions that
the system variable TMPDIR is not set when logging in remotely and
suggests setting in .bashrc it with:
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]; then
export TMPDIR=`getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR`
fi
I can confirm that this fixes the problem and I have sumbitted a bug
report to Apple to set TMPDIR when logging in remotely. However, I
wonder if emacsclient could check if TMPDIR is set and if not set it
with the above command so this problem is fixed within emacs.

Oh, is this D_U_T_D thing actually an environment variable, though?

No. It is a getconf variable.

If this works, shouldn't it rather be part of egetenv? Or at least a
new get_tmpdir function that would call egetenv on all platforms
except Darwin, and use the above on Darwin?

I'm not sure if this matters anywhere outside of the current context.
I added a kludge to the init of temporary-file-directory in the trunk.
Maybe as you say there should be a Ftemporary_file_directory that is
used there and elsewhere.
