Re: SSL problems

Hello Andriy,

the reply-to settings are a bit uncomfortable here. Your mail went only
to me. But I'm not part of the developer or support team. It's strange
that pg_ctl doesn't say anything else. Is there any system sniffer on
FreeBSD like Process Monitor on Windows? I can only say that the docs
worked for me (removed the password as described) on Ubuntu and Windows.
I got complaints because of the rights on the certificates first. Does
the server really start if SSL is deactivated in postgresql.conf again?

Good luck,

Peter
