[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

When using daemon mode locally on my computer it works correctly.  However,
if I login (using ssh -Y) to a computer with an emacs daemon running
(started with emacs -Q --daemon) and use emacsclient to connect to it
emacsclient does not find the server.  I get the error:

emacsclient -n -c
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

        --socket-name
        --server-file      (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
        --alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)

I can get emacsclient to work if I use --server-file option after I have
located the server-file.  I have the following bash function which does this
automatically:

emc () { emacsclient -n -c --socket-name="$( (find /var/ -name server | grep
emacs8060) 2> /dev/null )"}

but emacclient should be able to find the socket on its own.  Note that this
was present in 23.1 and 23.2 as well.
