This particular issue will go away in 7.2. The peer authentication method (checking ownership of a Unix socket connection) has been adopted upstream but is now called ident, although its method of operation is actually different from TCP/IP ident authentication. So, in 7.2, "peer" will again be invalid. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:4,5
