Data going through a UNIX socket will only pass through the local kernel, and if that's compromised then it's game over anyway. (2) I'm less sure about this part, but I seem to recall that openssl doesn't actually work if given a UNIX socket. Maybe there are reasons why those arguments are obsolete, but you haven't presented any. regards, tom lane
