 Hi,

 It seems WordPress supports unix_socket for the database, but not unix
 authentication - it would greatly increase the security of deployments
 (one less password is always better) and accelerate deploying speed, as
 you can just use the unix user for authentication.

 More info here:

 Cheers!
