On the subject of moving the directory for the agent socket, is there any reason this couldn't be changed to support $TMPDIR? That would allow people to put the agent socket directory wherever they wanted. I see the -a option, but wouldn't $TMPDIR (to specify the directory in which the agent socket directory would be created) be easier (yes, I'm lazy)?
