What will happen when the installation's default is to not listen on any Unix socket? (unix_socket_directories = '' in postgresql.conf.) I'm inclined to think that the "no sockdir" case is broken and you should get rid of it. If you're starting a postmaster, you can and should tell it a sockdir, period. If you're running a live check this code is all moot anyway. regards, tom lane
