The only other idea I can think of is he's editing the wrong pg_hba.conf
file; we've seen a couple of people make that mistake. (David, the
right pg_hba.conf file is the one in the $PGDATA directory. If you
don't see a postmaster.pid file in the same directory that appears and
disappears when you start and stop the postmaster, then you're in the
wrong directory ...)
Ta-Da!
That was it. For some reason, I had an old pgsql/data tree laying around that I was futzing with. Looking for postmaster.pid did the trick.
What I can't figure out is how I was breaking "local" access by editing the non-local file. Maybe I was just too tired after 18 hours of debugging Mozilla stuff. <G>
Thanks for the help.
