Hm.  The postmaster is sending back 'N' indicating that it does not want

Are you sure you are connecting to an SSL-enabled postmaster?

Also, is your connection by any chance IPV6?  It doesn't look like it
from the tcpdump, but I'm not sure I know how to tell.

Ah, that's it! My code examination just had reached ProcessStartupPacket, when your mail arrived.
The kernel is IPV6, and incoming IPV4 connection will be handled IPV6; I can tell this from pg_hba.conf experiments that my installation requires the ::ffff:192.168.0.0/24 entry.


The relevant bit of code in the postmaster is

#ifdef USE_SSL
       /* No SSL when disabled or on Unix sockets */
       if (!EnableSSL || port->laddr.addr.ss_family != AF_INET)
           SSLok = 'N';
       else
           SSLok = 'S';         /* Support for SSL */
#else
       SSLok = 'N';                     /* No support for SSL */
#endif


According to the comment, it should be


if (!EnableSSL || port->laddr.addr.ss_family == AF_UNIX)

and after changing this it works! Quite hard to find, probably most users you'd ask "do you use IPV6" would have answered "no". I didn't opt vor IPV6 either, it's a stock SuSE 8.1.

Immediately, I checked the reported ssl hangs, and found both cases working. Dave reported this failing on snake.pgadmin.org, which uses a different openssl (0.9.7a), I'll see if I can check that version (won't be before monday, need some sleep now).

Andreas
