Good point, though we don't want a unique name like SSH since we're
trying to rendezvous on the name. I tested creating sockets on an NFS
mounted directory with Solaris and it worked, but I have no idea what
happens with other platforms or filesystem types.
So, if we're using /tmp, and want to keep the UID in there for reasons
RMS explained in another message, maybe we want something like
/tmp/.eserv-<UID>-<HOSTNAME>/server
which should cover us against pretty much everything :).
