LeavesThe problem I was having with ssh tunneling was resolved by making the
following change to the port
forward scenario:
pg_hba.conf:
#TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
local all all
trust
host all all 127.0.0.1
255.255.255.255 trust
host all all 172.16.1.0
255.255.255.0 trust <<<---------Added
-L8887:172.16.1.17:5432 <<<----------Used the local private IP addres
in the port forward argument.
Without this I get the connection refused by host in the Putty log .
