Having the default socket name be in the current directory is a poor
choice for a daemon that is expected to run as root.
It is also likely better to use an "abstract" socket name. abstract
names do not exist in the filesystem namespace and are local to a
network namespace. Using an abstract name ensures that the nfsd,
mountd, and fsidd are all in the same network namespace.
This patch:
- uses a single #define for the default socket name, rather than 2;
- allows the socket name to start with '@' which is interpreted to
be a request to use the abstract name space (systemd uses the same
convention).
- changes the default to "@/run/fsid.sock". I don't know of a formal
standard for choosing names in the abstract name space, the defacto
standard (seen in "ss -xa|grep @") is to use a name similar to what
might be used in the filesystem.
