How did you clear your /tmp?  If you just deleted the files there, that could 
have caused the problem.  A nicer way of dealing with this is to run 
'usr/sbin/tmpwatch --mtime --verbose --verbose 168 /tmp' in a cron job - I 
clean mine out weekly - which makes sure that old files are deleted but 
anything recent enough to be still needed is untouched.

Log out and back in - that should re-create your sockets, I would have 
thought.  If the worst comes to the worst you can always reboot.
