I'm not on top of this by any means but even from localhost there are2 ways to connect, via tcp/ip and by unix socket. When you connect by pgsql you are using the unix socket - i think. Connection issues are dicussed very fully on the posgresql admin mailing list see http://www.postgresql.org HTH Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
