Does anyone know what the problem with the permissions for Unix sockets
with PostgreSQL and Cygwin? The socket file /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 is
always created with 700 permissions. This means that it is not
accessible to normal users.

It is possible to change the permissions with the chmod command:

chmod a+rwx /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

Is this a bug in Cygwin? Cygipc? PostgreSQL? What needs to be done to
get it fixed?
