I did -- and now I'm going to make pgaccess and the tcl client part of
my standard toolkit!  I hadn't had time before to try out pgaccess --
but, it seems to work fine, once I remembered to set "-i" on the
postmaster line.  BTW, while we're on that subject, might I suggest
that, since the default pg_hba.conf is for localhost only access, even
over tcp/ip, the "-i" is made the default in the postgresql init
script??  It seems that several programs need it -- pgaccess included.

Hmmm... I'll try that first -- the problem is going to be rpms built
against glibc 2.0.7 (RH52) running against glibc 2.1 (RH6)  I'll blow in
the binaries first -- if there are oddities, I'll build fresh glibc2.1
rpms and see what comes out. I will note that I have the compat-libs
installed.

Those two are going to be fun.  I'll let you know the results of my
RedHat 6 test at home.
