Hi Bruce,
I tried psql -U scncraft -h 127.0.0.1 and it works.
So, it may seem that my localhost somehow is mapped to
use IPV6 ?
Last time I added a line in /etc/host thinking it may help:
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
I just took that line off and rebooted the machine but
now I cannot get in. Need to get to the console and
see why telnetd: could not grant slave pty.
Will let you know after I try to get back in.
Gan
