I know that PostgreSQL can be accessed via a socket or through 127.0.0.1. It's crucial since I've set it up for quite a lot of functionality on some of my websites.
What are good and secure ways to accomplish this? And why is one or the other better? I learned all kinds of stuff about the operator group in an unrelated thread, which has changed me to not give that out to any users at all. I just couldn't google or DuckDuckGo anything at all about this. Plus I would also like to know a little bit more than just cut and paste if anyone has time to offer that up. OT? I am assuming that for perl, since I wanted a full and clean startup.pl for mod_perl, I already know what modules I need to add from studying each module back a while ago. Thanks, Chris Bennett
