Hi all,
I went through pg_hba.conf, I tried to change 'local' and 'Host' permissions.
I gave permissions like
local all password
host all x.x.x.x x.x.x.x password
if i tried to login using my database password i got an error like 'password authentication failed'.
can any body tell how can i set pg_hba.conf which will restrict either 'local' or 'host' not to enter with our giving password.
thanks alot.
with best regards,
S Baskar

Look at $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf, which defines your access control.
