Re: A local replication entry

Hey, it's worth a try! I've never seen a replication access entry with 'local' instead of 'host'. Could you satisfy it with a host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust?

Daniel,

Thanks for the reply. I don't think psql would diagnose this as it wouldn't use a replication connection, just a standard one. That is unless there is a way to force a replication connection through psql, and I just don't know it. As it is, the postgres user has no issues getting in with psql, as in "psql csg_db" with no other options specified.

I'm almost certain that my /etc/hosts file is up to date and I see all three of my db servers in it. There are no IPv6 entries in it at any event,

As this has to be automatically deployed to various servers, I'd prefer to NOT specify each host's IP address both in pg_hba.conf file and in the script calling the pg_basebackup command. Oh, and at some point when this starts working, I am going to change the user from postgres to another without superuser capability.
