Hi, I recently modified one of my Fedora boxes by changing it's name and ip. I also disabled the internal wifi ( connection speed was dropping to 1 mb/sec ) and configured a USB wifi stick ( wow 270~300 mb/sec ). As I checked out the refurbed box networking was ok and I was able to connect to Postgresql using pgsql and some of my personal apps. However I could not connect to Postgresql from my other machines. I tried ssh from another machine to the modified machine and of course ssh complained about have a bad key ( had renamed the machine to a machine that I had given away recently and the key to the old machine was still present.) After I fixed the ssh problem I *was* able to connect to Postgresql on the refurbed machine. Do the postgresql libraries silently check to see if there is a ssh 'footprint' available for a target machine and reject the connection attempt if they do not match?
