Hi, I have a very basic issue that i'd like to discuss I have just recieved a newly installed database server. I'm wondering if i should open up the ports to my two clusters 5432 and 5433 from "Anywhere"? As an alternative, i could add each ip address both in the firewall and the pg_hba.conf. I feel that it's a stupid question, since there is pg_hba, which already does this work. Yet all the people that i know, do it in the firewall AND the pg_hba.conf. Is there any potential danger in opening up the firewall for those ports?? cheers, WBL -- "Patriotism is the conviction that your country is superior to all others because you were born in it." -- George Bernard Shaw -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
