I was able to resolve this issue using -k /tmp with postmaster:

postmaster -k "/tmp" -D "/usr/xxx/databases/pgsql/data"

In postgresql.conf I have 

listen_addresses = 'localhost'
unix_socket_directories = '/tmp'

However when I try to connect with psql

[13:27:08 slanglois@tron data]$ psql postgres 
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

The lock file is in /tmp

[13:28:02 slanglois@tron data]$ ls -al /tmp/.*PGSQL*
srwxrwxrwx 1 slanglois eng  0 Jul 20 13:19 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
-rw------- 1 slanglois eng 59 Jul 20 13:19 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock

even though I have the following in pg_hba.conf

local all all trust 

I tried to specify the host but it still doesn't connect 

[13:32:24 slanglois@tron data]$ psql -h localhost postgres 
psql: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "slanglois", database "postgres", SSL off

To get it to connect I have to add the following to pg_hba.conf

host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

I was going to put this under a new subject but it seems to me like it is still related to the lock file being expected in /var/run/postgres when it is trying to connect even though I changed it to /tmp.

Why is the local connection not working without having to add host ::1/128 to the pg_hba.conf file. I thought specifying local all all trust would allow any local connection.
