Is that not true in your version of glibc? If not, one possible workaround is to force use of our own getaddrinfo replacement (#undef HAVE_GETADDRINFO and add getaddrinfo.o to LIBOBJS). Probably the easiest way around the peercred problem is just to disable that chunk of code ("#elif defined(SO_PEERCRED)" to "#elif 0" at line 1409 of hba.c will probably do it). You may need to dike out the corresponding code in client-side libpq as well. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
