Bug#592224: libice6 - Creates UNIX socket names including the pid



Hi Bastian,

Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org> (08/08/2010):
> The pid value as seen by the process itself via getpid(2) on Linux
> is not longer unique if pid namespaces or the process freezer are in
> use.  Also other processes may see a different pid for it.
> 
> Please use some more random for creating this socket names, as they
> are communicated via a environment variable (SESSION_MANAGER)
> anyway.
