[udig-devel] postgis link to a unix soket rather than a port?

[Adrian Custer]

hey all,

exploring the connection of uDig <-> R via postgis. I've learned to make
a local database server tied to a socket:

pg_ctl -w -l $LOCAL_DB/log/server.log start -o "-c listen_addresses= -c
unix_socket_directory=$LOCAL_DB"

but how do I tie up uDig to that? All I see in uDig is the address:port
combination. 

any hints?
