Severity : serious
Summary: Remote access failed / Authentication failed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description:
--------------------
There are two problems:
1. The postmaster (version 6.1) does not accept the -i option. Why? (We use another Postgres Version 6.3 and there it
isdone well.)
2. Although the pg_hba.conf is set correctly, I get the message: be_recvauth: unrecognized message type:65536
Failed to authenticate client as Postgres user "andreas" using <unknown authentication type>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
We have two computers with Linux.
One has got Postgres V6.1 and the other one V6.3.
When I try to access the database on the 6.1-DB with
psql -h hostname dbname
I get the be_recvauth-message.
I cannot start the V6.1 postmaster with the -i option.
