[HACKERS] unix_socket_directory bug or feature?

[Joshua D. Drake]

Hello,
unix_socket_direct = '/tmp/foo'
unix_socket_group = 'postgres'
unix_socket_permission = '0200'
-bash-3.00$ bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/etc/ start
postmaster starting
-bash-3.00$ LOG:  could not open Ident usermap file 
"/usr/local/pgsql/etc/pg_ident.conf": No such file or directory
LOG:  database system was shut down at 2005-05-06 14:46:39 PDT
LOG:  checkpoint record is at 0/A32BD4
LOG:  redo record is at 0/A32BD4; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG:  next transaction ID: 545; next OID: 17230
LOG:  database system is ready

-bash-3.00$ bin/psql -U postgres template1
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
-bash-3.00$
psql is looking in the wrong directory for the socket.
-bash-3.00$ bin/psql -U postgres -h 127.0.0.1 template1
Welcome to psql 8.0.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type:  \copyright for distribution terms

Sincerely,
