Everything that you've said looks fine, so the problem is somewhere you're not looking :-(. At this point, I'd wonder if the pg_hba.conf file you're changing is the same one the postmaster is reading. You might try confirming that directly by inserting a syntactically-incorrect entry and seeing if the postmaster bleats about it to the postmaster log when you issue a reload. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
