My guess is that the server received a TCP RST, indicating that the client's socket has gone away, and the the error message is the same for a RST received during connection setup and a RST received later on. During connection setup, it absolutely makes sense to say that the "client has actively refused the connection" if it responds to a SYN packet with RST... best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
