Thanks for replying Tom. I ended up scrapping the database I had in there
(it was empty) and reinitiallizing so I would get the original pg_hba.conf
file back. Then I copied and pasted including the line breaks.
I still don't know how to turn the postmaster off or even if I have it setup
correctly. I am going to hit the documentation again. I think I saw
somewhere where NT needs to be setup differently than W2K for the cygipc.
After all these acronyms which I don't understand anyways I am having
trouble communicating in plain english. :)
