Thanks for asking about my preferences -- it is appreciated. As long a
mailing list is one of the addressees, then I'm happy. My procmail
recipes will de-dup (or dup) to meet my needs. I don't make a fuss
about dups (because I don't get them unless I want to). However,
private email is another story... :,)

What is the permissions of the postmaster's AF_UNIX socket file?
$ ls -l /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
srwxrwxrwt 1 jt None 51 Jan 13 15:32 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
Are yours more restrictive then above? If so, then this could explain
your local connection problems.

Thanks!

Just a WAG, but maybe the above is confusing Cygwin's setup.exe (which
is a straight Win32 app and currently does *not* "use" ntsec) into
creating files and directories with problematic permissions?
Thanks,
