Yes, and to reduce the "ickyness" factor,  move /tmp/timesheet.fcgi to a
/var/run/timesheet/ directory or some such and lock down the permissions to
the appropriate user/groups. Many old time (and even newbie) unix guys
dislike using /tmp or /var/tmp for sockets.


/var/run is for application/daemon variable runtime files and sockets.

and /tmp is for temp files that get deleted on system reboot.
