I tried stopping the network on my machine, and was still able to connect
when logged on locally via psql. I presume this is because the local unix
sockets connection still works from the local machine. You might test this
by editing your pg_hba.conf file to disallow local sockets. e.g.:
local all reject
Hope this helps,
Joe
