Christopher: thanks. Upstream patching isn't really applicable here, because the script in question is distribution-specific session-setup code.
As for demo code, here's a tidbit to get the ball rolling: if [ -n "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" -a -d "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ]; then SSHAGENTARGS+="-a $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.$$" fi (added right after the "SSHAGENTARGS=-1" conditional) A couple advantages of this are 1. Old agent sockets are less likely to stick around, because /run/ is a tmpfs; 2. Searching for my own ssh-agent socket(s) is easier/safer, because I don't have to worry about /tmp/ssh-*/ directories that belong to someone else, or (worse) a hostile attacker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131383 Title: Wishlist: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1131383/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
