What if the postmaster instead created a second unix socket in its
data directory? For security reason, it'd probably need to set
the permissions to 0600, but it'd still allow maintenance tools to
connect reliably if they only knew the data directory.
Don't know if that'd work on windows, though - I have no idea if
we even support something similar to unix sockets there, and if so,
it it lives in the filesystem.
best regards,
