Hi and thank you for replying. I have tried using the FQDN without success.
The reverse DNS server was already setup. After installing bridge-utils in order to run the host command and I discovered the reverse dns had config problems (something you suggested) $host laptop laptop.biroul.gis has address 192.168.111.6 $host 192.168.111.6 Host 6.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I have fixed the reverse DNS configuration and now all is alright. Thank you, Tudor ________________________________ From: Peter Eisentraut <pete...@gmx.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [BUGS] BUG #8172: entering the hostname in the address column in pg_hba.conf doesn't work as it should On 5/21/13 3:41 AM, tudorbara...@yahoo.com wrote: > In pg_hba.conf I have the following setup: > host all all laptop md5 > > Although the hostname gets resolved by the system (LAN DNS server) I still > get the no pg_hba.conf entry error. Check that the following works: $ host laptop $ host x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address that the first command printed. Those need to match. I suspect that you need to write a fully-qualified domain name in pg_hba.conf, and you need to set up the reverse DNS.
