I can confirm that Emacs does not honor server-auth-dir. I did not  
customize this variable or alter it otherwise. Its value is  
"~/.emacs.d/server/" which is apparently a hard-coded default.  
However, my server file is in "/tmp/emacs45021/", not in  
"~/.emacs.d/server/". If I quit Emacs and create "~/.emacs.d/server/"  
(which did not exist on my system), Emacs still does not use this  
directory when I start it again.

regards,
Markus
