How does it fail? Just with a '[Failed]' message in the logs?

I must say my non rpm installation doesn't seem to pick up the hostssl line in
pg_hba. Or at least it doesn't match it when a connection comes in. I didn't
get very far into looking into that so it's probably something I'm doing wrong.

FWIW, my pg_hba entry is:

hostssl all all xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.255.240 md5

and the error I get is:

FATAL: No pg_hba.conf entry for host xx.xx.xx.xx, user vtc, database vtc
