Re: Old version?

Actually, postgresql.conf already has ssl set to off, but there was
one line that has sslhost in the pg_hba.conf file.  It shouldn't have
mattered because it wasn't a range of IP's that exists, but I
commented it out anyway.  I stopped and restarted postgres and it made
no difference.
