Hello, list
from the postgresql documentation I know, that "The pg_hba.conf file is read on start-up and
when the main server process receives a SIGHUP signal.
If you edit the file on an active system, you will need to signal the
server (using pg_ctl reload or kill -HUP) to make it re-read the file."
But there have been an incident this Saturday that indicates, that
these are not the only triggers for reading pg_hba.conf. One of our
clients edited pg_hba.conf that day (not correctly I must add), but
neither restarted nor reloaded the postgresql (logs below confirm
that). Anyway at some point the system started using the newly edited
file causing some problems. What could cause the pg_hba.conf to be read
by postgresql ?
OS: Win XP SP3
DB: Postgresql 8.3
The log (from pg_log):
