Well, don't do that then. Locking out TCP seems like a big win. > I'm inclined to think that the "no sockdir" case is broken and you > should get rid of it.

The "no sockdir" case is only for live checks of pre-9.1 old servers, because we can't find the socket directory being used. Everything else uses the local directory for the socket. If we remove that case, we can't do live checks on pre-9.1 servers. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
