Sockets in /tmp are now created in a subdirectory named, tmux-UID, eg

tmux-1000. The default socket is thus /tmp/tmux-UID/default. To start a separate server, the new -L command line option should be used: this creates a socket in the same directory with a different name ("-L main" will create socket called "main"). -S should only be used to place the socket outside /tmp. This makes sockets a little more secure and a bit more convenient to use multiple servers.
