Re: first time odbc

I only want the users to read data, thus I removed superuser and applied grant select.

If the listen_address is not a client filter, would it still be better to only have it listen to localhost and the few ip addresses that will need to odbc to the postgres database? Is it just not possible to assign listen_address = 'localhost, 1.ip.address, 2.ip.address'?

One other thing still, if in the pg_hba.conf file I do not include any ip addresses I cannot connect to the database. If I enter just one ip address, any computer can connect to the database, even though some machines have static ip addresses and others have dhcp address from a completely different subnet. Do you know why this is? I figured the pg_hba.conf file controlled access by ip address, based on other googled articles.

Thanks

Is the user you connect with allowed to see / modify data?

Maybe it would be a good idea to increase the log level on the server and look in the logs, what happens. This can be done at runtime, no need to stop the database.

Frank.
