Running 7.1.2 on Debian Linux/potato (Intel): I'm trying to connect to the Postgresql database on machine P from machine A. I can, of course, use the 'fpm' database just fine from machine P. TCPIP has been turned on, along with debugging. The error log shows: No pg_hba.conf entry for host abc.de.fg.hij, user fpm, database fpm while in the pg_hba.conf I have an entry: host fpm abc.de.fg.hij 255.255.255.255 trust (Initially it wasn't "trust", but first I want to get *some* connection). There's probably something really stupid going on here, but I haven't yet figured it out from the old mailing list items, on-line doc's, or Bruce's book. Could someone please relieve me of another bit of ignorance? -frank ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
