We ignore "local" even if the system doesn't have Unix-domain sockets. We ignore IPvN entries even if listen_addresses doesn't contain any IPvN addresses (this could be considered equivalent to ssl = on/off). In my experience, it is best to ignore these things. You don't lose anything -- if you don't have SSL configured, no one is going to connect with SSL -- and at best you're going to annoy admins who want to configure systems consistently. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
