Re: reg:conninfo - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 This entry is there in configuration file
already.So no probs..I can connect.
But..Just i want to know why it is connecting if i mention just localhost
and why  it giving error if i mention the IP of it(the same m/c's) instead
of local host.
Have u seen the image i sent in last mail?
What is wrong if i mention the localhost IP instead of localhost in my
connection information?
