I have a SuSE 8.2 out of the box. I have done nothing with IPv6. I don't even know much about IPv6. Users expect, that it works just after installation. But after following the discussion I think, that it is not so much a problem. I have 127.0.0.1 in my pg_hba.conf and when I set PGHOST to 127.0.0.1 it workes. If I set PGHOST to localhost, it resolves to ::1, wich don't match my pg_hba.conf-entry. The error message is somewhat clear and gives the user a good hint, where to look for. I don't like the idea of doing something special with loopback-interfaces. Loopback-interfaces are to test the network and tries to handle everything like normal networking. Is it possible to ignore IPv6-entries in pg_hba.conf on non-IPv6-machines? Then we could uncomment IPv6 localhost connections by default. Or uncomment these entries just on IPv6-machines. But this needs modification of default pg_hba.conf depending on OS.
