Catching up on back email, Marc?
I think the end consensus of that thread was that we should move the
socket file to someplace safer than /tmp (exactly where being a
configure-time choice), *and* optionally put a softlink to it in /tmp
for backwards compatibility with old clients. Use of the /tmp link
would be deprecated because of possible security risks, but it could
continue to work for as long as a particular installation needed to
keep that option enabled.
Actually getting it done doesn't seem to have happened :-(. I think
we were all viewing this as part & parcel of fixing the lockfile issues,
which no one got exercised enough to do. Too many higher-priority
tasks...
regards, tom lane
