Re: FW: Configuring Postgres to use unix sockets

Hi John,

Unix sockets are a presentation layer interface to TCP/IP. You're not
avoiding it by using them.

Hi Everyone

I am not too sure how to do this but I'll ask

I want two postgres servers to communicate over a serial port. I want to
avoid using the TCP/IP network protocol for added security. I heard this
can be accomplished through unix sockets? Could anyone give me some
configuration advice. I am a little in the dark with this type of config.
