Re: backup script error with could not connect to database - Mailing list pgsql-admin

I made it work.  I changed all in pg_hba.conf to trust and backup scripts run fine.

When Postgres searches for the matching line in pg_hba.conf, the first line that matches current connection wins. This means that if you have:

    host  all  all                      127.0.0.1/32          indent

    host  replication  all        127.0.0.1/32          trust

The first line wins and indent is applied instead of trust.

thank you so much.
