Agreed, but from a clarity perspective, are we better moving to the CIDR format for hostnames in pg_hba.conf anyway? I know CIDR is for networks, not hosts though. Also, I think we would accept a patch that modified pg_hba.conf for Solaris only that made this change. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
