If you'd said 9.4 I'd have guessed at a corner case in catalog snapshot invalidation, but I think 9.3 would just be looking for the role with SnapshotNow, which should pretty much always work. (You're sure the transaction in the background is getting committed in time, right? And it's being sent to the 9.3 DB not the 8.4 one?) Also, just to clarify: this is a PAM auth module that just happens to talk to some LDAP server behind the scenes, right? If Postgres thinks this is LDAP auth method then some other possibilities open up --- but AFAICS we've not touched the PAM code since 8.4.2. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
