Re: A local replication entry

OK, weirder yet!!!!

After all this screwing around, and I think this was the first time that I did a "stop", removed the log file so I
couldeasily see the result, and then I issued a "start" on the  
database, just for grins, I tried running the pg_basebackup command again. I pulled it from the shell's history and
invokedit, and. It ran without a single problem. I'm guessing  
now that something was incorrect in memory somewhere, and just reloading the pg_hba.conf wasn't fixing it.

I apologize to all for not thinking to issue a restart before this moment, but now I am a little worried that this
mightbite us in production.
