This is problematic for systems with multiple users, as the other users can control the Smuxi instance of the first user.

from ./mcs/class/System.Runtime.Remoting/System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Ipc.Unix/README:

System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Ipc.Unix
=========================================

*.Ipc.Unix is a wrapper for Mono.Remoting.Channels.Unix.
The Unix channels are loaded via reflection.

The wrapper is performing the following mappings:

IPC                     UNIX
--------------------------------------
portName="foo"          path=$TEMP/foo
ipc://foo/bar.rem    unix://$TEMP/foo?/bar.rem

So Mono is creating a unix socket in /tmp, chmodded 666, named after the port name of the IPC channel. According to MSDN docs [0] it is supposed to be only accessible by the same user by default, that would be chmod 600 on Unix.

Path.GetTempPath() -> [ICall] Path.get_temp_path() -> ves_icall_System_IO_get_temp_path() -> g_get_tmp_dir() of eglib [0] or glib [1]

https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-tmp-dir

So the TMP, TMPDIR and TEMP environment variables influences the location of the chosen temp directory
