8 I assume what you say is that they were not recreated?

18 If you are not getting these creatures in your /tmp dir anymore and assuming
19 that they are kernel dependent, it may be that they will cease to be created
20 soon as I update this (stable) machine and roll up my next kernel version
21 (I'm on 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 now).

23 This leaves the gnupg problem. Any idea what the log-socket file is all
24 about?

26 srwxr-xr-x 1 michael users 0 Jun 6 20:29 log-socket
27
28 I moved it, it was not re-created yet and there doesn't seem to be a problem
29 so far, other than the error message when I manually launch gpg:
30 ================================
31 $ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"
32 can't connect to `/home/michael/.gnupg/log-socket': No such file or directory
33 ================================
34
35 If you remember my previous message when the lock file was still there, I was
36 getting:
37
38 can't connect to `/home/michael/.gnupg/log-socket': Connection refused
39
40 So it seems to need the lock file but I don't really know how it is
41 (re)created. Any ideas anyone?
