I think you mean the named UNIX domain socket in /tmp. Technically not the
same thing as named pipes.

I don't think we require tcp whether loopback or not. You can certainly
configure the server not to accept tcp at all and only the UNIX domain
connections which is presumably good enough if it's a kernel issue.
