I guess you maintaining your own fork? ;-) Simply put, earlier versions threw away the contents of pg_hba and reloaded it completely. The support for keeping the old one around in case of syntax errors is new for 8.4. You'd basically require backpatching of large parts of that patch, and that's not going to happen. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
