i just tried it in CVS and in 8.4 and when i put a reject rule on pg_hba.conf what i get is: psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user "mic", database "mic" so we are giving a lot of info already changing "no pg_hba.conf entry" for "connection rejected" doesn't seem like a lot more and the change could be useful for a DBA understanding what happens -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL Asesoría y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
