Can you include in the commit log a link to the BZ describing this

There isn't any publicly available BZ describing this problem so I chose not to put the private link in the commit. I can do it if you insist but having private links in a public repo doesn't seem right to me.


Without the socket path explicitly specified, the remote driver tried to
connect to the "/system" instance socket even if "/session" was
specified in the uri. With this patch this configuration now produces an
error.

It is still possible to initiate a session connection with specifying
the path to the socket manually and also manually starting the session
daemon. This was also possible prior to this patch,

This is a minimal fix. We may decide to support remote session
connections using ssh but this will require changes to the remote driver
code so this fix shouldn't cause regressions in the case we decide to do
that.

A totally naive question: do we want to only allow "/system"? or
'anything except "/session"'?

We want to forbid only "/session" with the default socket path which won't work right now. A user is able to start a session daemon and successfully connect to it even with this patch. The user has to manually specify a socket path.

Rejecting everything except "/system" would break drivers that use different path. A (stupid) example:

       'quit' to quit

ACK once the BZ link is included in the commit log (and pending my
question about whether we want to check for == "/session" or != "/system").
