Sorry to bother you again with the same question but unfortunately it is still not clear to me how to configure the PostgreSQL server. Could you please be more specific and detailed? Let me write an exact situation to make the answer easier: - PostgreSQL is newly installed, so now everything is set to default values. - The PostgreSQL server is runing on a computer with a domain name for example "my.pgserver.com" and listening on port 5432. - There is another remote computer with ADSL connection to Internet and it is registered to dyndns.org with a name for example "my.dyndns.domain". - A client application is running on this remote computer. This application would like to connect to the PostgreSQL server on "my.pgserver.com" and fetch some data from a table. The documentation says about the "listen_addresses" configuration parameter in the postgresql.conf file, that to accept TCP/IP connections its value must be '*' or at least its value must contain the host names on which the server is listening for connections from client applications. So I guess I should add "my.dyndns.domain" to it to accept TCP/IP connection from that remote computer. But I don't know if am I right? How should I configure the pg_hba.conf file? What else should I do? Or just explain more detailed (through the example above) that SSH connection please... Could you please help me? Thank you in advance again... Best regars, Szabolcs
