[racket] postgres connect problem - unexpected 'password required' error

So yes,  the Unix socket and TCP local connection are different in the
config file, one being peer, the other being 'md5'

I assume setting the tcp socket to peer in the pg_hba.conf file would work.

I just tested your suggestion of  "adding `#:socket 'guess` to your
`postgresql-connect` call" and that works.  Thank you!

I don't know if there is an issue that caused the package to be distributed
with these config settings so I will go with the #:socket `guess approach
until I have a better understanding.

BTW, the other contingency of "`#:ssl 'yes` to `postgresql-connect" had no
affect in this case.

Thank you !
