The GRASS PostgreSQL programs shouldn't require postmaster to use the
"-i" switch (they work for me without it). However, ensure that you
*don't* have an entry for PG_HOST in the ~/.grassrc5 file.

AFAICT, once you specify a host, you can't subsequently specify a
local connection (i.e. via a Unix domain socket) other than by
manually removing the PG_HOST setting from ~/.grassrc5.
