emacsclient works fine when I unset the environment variable "EMACS_SERVER_FILE". This holds true regardless what server-auth-dir is set to.
In order to produce the error, do the following:
(1) start emacs -Q. (2) execute in the scratch buffer (require 'server)
(setq server-auth-dir "~/")
(server-start)
(3) go to a cygwin bash (outside emacs)
(4) set EMACS_SERVER_FILE to "~/server"
(5) run the command
emacsclient ~/.emacs
and you get the error message from the original post, but you'd expect to get in emacs a buffer displayed with the .emasc file.
An Emacs server usually uses an operating system feature called a "local socket" to listen for connections. Some operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, do not support local sockets; in that case, Emacs uses TCP instead.
