If it was trying to get that sort of connection, rather than TCP/IP,
the message would be different.  Something like:
 
# could not connect to server: No such file or directory
#   Is the server running locally and accepting
#   connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
 
You do have a point on the "Permission denied", though.  If the
problem was where I was suggesting, it would probably say "Connection
refused".  Perhaps some OS security restriction is in play here.
