Package: openssh-client Version: 1:5.8p1-3 Severity: normal ssh-agent creates $SSH_AUTH_SOCK within a temporary directory of the form /tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXXXXXX. These directories often stick around and don't get cleaned up. (Right now I have piles of them just from the past month.) These directories seem like a perfect fit for /var/run, rather than /tmp, since they exist primarily to provide a socket. Moving them to /var/run should not break anything (since $SSH_AUTH_SOCK would point to the new location), and should allow these directories to get automatically cleaned up. Furthermore, this reduces clutter in /tmp.
