My apologies, I shouldn't have used the generic socket error 'Connection

"Could not connect to database" from libnss-pgsql
This is the exact message from libnss-pgsql,
While you are at it, you should complain to the libnss-pgsql authors
about the inadequacy of the error message. It should at least be
repeating the libpq error message ...

Nothing of interest appears in the postmaster logs so I am broadening my
search for general network incidents/activity as opposed to postgresql
specific.
I have also downloaded the source for libnss-pgsql and will add some
extra code to see if I can get any more useful info from it.
Thanks for the comments/help to date :-)
