Hi,

when I used the postgres login 'replication' as the account for streaming replication I get the following error message:
2011-03-28 18:06:47 CEST FATAL:  could not connect to the primary server: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for replication connection from host "172.16.56.122", user "replication", SSL off

The corresponding pg_hba.conf entry was correct and there was no other matching entry before that line.
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            CIDR-ADDRESS            METHOD
host    replication     replication              172.16.56.122/32        md5

By changing the account name - everything worked as smoth as I am used to with postgres.

The standby server must have superuser access privileges required. could you please check it,if the "replication" user having superuser privileges or not.
