No, it shouldn't, because that is associated with the creation of the Unix socket file, which happens after creation of the TCP socket. Given that you're seeing a kernel error on attempt to create the TCP socket, I'm convinced that you're wasting your time thinking about Postgres-internal conditions. This is a kernel-level issue and you need to be inquiring into what state the kernel is in that is making it reject the bind(). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
