Yes, that'd be the idea. We set up a public database precisely so that people can test the client without having to install their own database which isn't entirely trivial (but can certainly be done).

Well, on that port one connects directly to our public PostgreSQL server. While it's an excellent idea to make that port return a banner if it's not seeing a valid database package that would mean we would have to hack the source of our PostgreSQL instance in the connection sequence. Which from the point of view of security isn't the smartest thing to do, unfortunately. Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346
