Re: Connecting via Unix sockets?

speed aside, this may be of interest;

you can tighten security by editing pg_hba.conf

#                   PostgreSQL HOST ACCESS CONTROL FILE
#
#
# This file controls what hosts are allowed to connect to what databases
# and specifies some options on how users on a particular host are
# identified. It is read each time a host tries to make a connection to
a
# database.
