Documentation

Directory for server authentication files.

We only use this if server-use-tcp is non-nil. Otherwise we use server-socket-dir.

NOTE: On FAT32 filesystems, directories are not secure; files can be read and modified by any user or process. It is strongly suggested to set server-auth-dir to a directory residing in a NTFS partition instead.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.
