Can't login to 8.2.4 if not superuser... - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi all

I'm experiencing a weird situation with my test installation for 8.2.4.
I installed with no problems on Solaris 10, and I've imported my
databases and users from a 7.4.14 using the 8.2.4 pg_dumpall without
excessive problems (some things about permissions on some tables, but I
think it's not related).

If I log via psql using the postgres user via psql there's no problem,
but If I try to log as a different user, the postmaster process hangs
and I can't connect.
On the log file (debug1, using syslog) I see:

And in the command line:

bash-3.00# ../bin/psql -d xxx -U xxx
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

If I login with the postgres user there's no problem, and if I set the
user xxx as superuser (using pgAdmin) I can login with it too ...

Actually, for test purposes, my pg_hba.conf settings are:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all     all             trust

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all     all     127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255 password
host    all     all     xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  255.255.255.255 password
host    all     all     yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy  255.255.255.255 password

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my host public ip address and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
my laptop IP to access with pgAdmin.

Some idea about what it's happening?
