nope, that didn't do it.
made sure that i have postgres usernames for everyone (me, for right now) who's going
to use it. as per your message, added a user for my hostname. still nada.
argh. ah, well... i'll keep plugging away.
can one have more than one allow line in the pg_hba.conf? i've got the localhost line,
as provided by the postgres rpm, and added a line to include our local network.
anyway...
you didn't need to add the port to the /etc/services, did you? argh...
--------------------
Hmmm. I edited my pg_hba.conf file and that was all I needed to do. Are you
sure you're adding a user in the Postgres server for whatever username the
remote machine is identifying itself as? (e.g. if user "foobar" on client
machine is accessing database "numnut" on the server, then the server needs
to have a Postgres user (/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser) called numnut.
numnut may also need to have permissions granted to him on the database he
is trying to access.
If you're running 6.3.x or higher, postmaster also needs to be started with
the "-i" switch, a change from 6.2.x, to enable TCP/IP or Internet domain
socket communication.
HTH,
