Ok, this works just fine. I'm able to replicate the table. Thanks for the
help. rserv has proven an excellent tool, at least for me.

BTW, I'm still trying to work out how can I replicate via a secure channel
using OpenSSH. I had to add a "port" parameter to most, if not all, the
programs so I could use a manually created tunnel; however, I'm still unable
to figure out how to do it automatically (the "script" way). The -R and
-L parameters to ssh(1), next to an appropiate way for calling the Replicate
program should do it, but I can't find the right combination.

Does the "hostssl" entry en pg_hba.conf helps me? I need to automate this...

TIA.
