I wasn't sure where to add this, but it seems to me, it might be good to add it
either before or after B.11.

What about checking if the bugs user can login that way?

personally, I'd suggest adding information on the 2 ways to connect (local
socket or tcp) and how to force it to use the one you want.

I am unable to work this bug at this time due to other priorities.  Reassigning to default assignee.
