Re: error message "psql: expected authentication request from server, but received " when using psql to connect remote database

Heikki Linnakangas,

Thanks for your quick response; the server we used is 8.1.4,
The error when using client 8.1.4,=20
> psql -U or -p 2222 -d testdb -h localhost
Output:
psql: expected authentication request from server, but received

when used 8.0.3, no problem,
> psql -U or -p 2222 -d testdb -h localhost
Output:
Password:
Then enter password, it can log in and do all operation.

Thanks,
Justin

8.1 series, and 8.0.15 for the 8.0 series
