Hi, I noticed that if the hba_file setting in the config is uncommented and set to a directory instead of the full path to the file, no error occurs when the service starts.
For example: hba_file = '/home/thom/Development/data' The problem with this is you cannot get into the database as it acts as if it did find the hba file but found it empty. Shouldn't a check be in place to ensure that the parameter resolves to a file rather than anything else? And even if it does find a file, but it's empty, shouldn't it also produce a warning of some kind? -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
