hi guys I am in the process of converting my network to IPv6 only (well, as much as possible). Since our own network has fully functional IPv6 connectivity, I should be able to move all services that are used internally only, to IPv6 only. Postgres is one of those services. I could not find anywhere in the docs how to configure this. However, the following seems to do the trick: listen_addresses = '::' This will make postgres listen on IPv6 only: root@cajones:~# telnet 127.0.0.1 5432 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused root@cajones:~# telnet ::1 5432 Trying ::1... Connected to ::1. Escape character is '^]'. Might be an idea to add this to the docs. -- Dyonisius Visser System & Networking Engineer TERENA Secretariat Singel 468 D, 1017 AW Amsterdam The Netherlands T +31 20 530 44 88 F +31 20 530 44 99 visser@xxxxxxxxxx | www.terena.org -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
