And as I'm now seeing, I'm getting nothing in /var/log/pgsql either. :-( I'm sending you the strace output off-list (it's only 20KB, but the rest of the list doesn't need the bandwidth use). There are a *LOT* of errors in there, but in most cases I cannot determine whether they are material to the problem at hand. I did notice specifically that it looks for /home/rpaiz/.pgpass several times, a file which I have never created and does not exist. If you can take a look at this, I'd really appreciate it! Something is very definitely not working right here. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
