After all, /tmp is not supposed to be shared among several machines (i.e. it might be NFS-mounted but it should be dedicated to one particular host). > (BTW, Note that one way of dealing with the temp cleaner problem would > be to have the emacsserver binary periodically wake up every so often, > and try touching the containing directory and socket.
