Re: listen_addresses = '*' ok, specific address(es) no (.... and a thread hi-jack!)

Dang - Our NZ operations are a lot smaller than ours. They only have the one
Linux server and it's primary role is to run the D3 gear I was talking about
the other day - same in Australia!! I am trying to get the number crunchers
to fork out the $$$ for RH ES4 and a nice new server.

Thanks Tom, I'll put up with the errors for now until I can get them a new
server.

Uh ... *why*? I wouldn't use RH 7.1 today any more than I'd use PG 7.1 ...

It seems you've got libc code that supports IPv6 even though your kernel
does not (else PG would not have been told that an IPv6 address was a
possible translation of "localhost"). PG copes with this but will issue
LOG messages complaining about it. If you don't like the warnings, fix
your system so it's all on the same page about whether IPv6 is supported.
