Re: pg_hba.conf change in 7.4 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Yes, I am not suspecting that there is something strange with that
Solaris installation.  Maybe everything is IPv6.  We certainly have lots
of Solaris users.

Are all Solaris connections coming in as IPv6?  That seems impossible
because we didn't support IPv6 in PostgreSQL 7.3 and it worked fine.
Now, I can see Solaris favoring IPv6 if we listen on IPv4 and IPv6, but
if you compiled with IPv6 disabled, we don't listen on that port and I
can't see how the connection could be coming in on IPv6.

I think you need to dig into Solaris to see what netstat shows and how
your localhost is mapped on your machine.
