Duh! Yes, of course; I wasn't thinking.

The reason that example was in my mind is that very day I ran into the
problem of a VM being unable to connect via port 5432. Admittedly I'd had
to start postgresql manually (using systemctl) owing to a stale lock file,
might that have made a difference? The port definitely wasn't open.
