If you are using a version that defaults to /var/run/postgresql, then it is new enough to have the unix_socket_directories parameter. Setting that to empty should do the trick. pg_hba.conf is not the place to configure which ports/sockets PG listens on. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
