[ADMIN] pg_hba changes not honored

[Sriram Dandapani]

When I update pg_hba.conf to disallow certain client machines from connectiong (update pg_hba.conf, pg_ctl reload), I still see new connections appearing in the process list from the clients I want to disconnect. Why does this happen. (I noticed this behavior with jdbc connections in jboss with connection pooling)   Once pg_hba is reloaded, shouldn’t postmaster refuse to accept connections from the clients not in pg_hba.conf list.   Regards   Sriram
