My understanding was it means ip range of 1 to 254. 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.1.254 > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Huxton [mailto:dev@archonet.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 12:19 PM > To: Goutam Paruchuri > Cc: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org > Subject: Re: [SQL] Error In connection ?? > > > Goutam Paruchuri wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I get an error in my log when connecting to postgres server > on Windows. > > Postgres version : 8.0.0-beta4 > > > > LOG TEXT > > > > 2004-11-10 11:22:47 LOG: invalid entry in file "C:/Program > > Files/PostgreSQL/8.0.0-beta4/data/pg_hba.conf" at line 64, token > > "192.168.2.1/254" > > 2004-11-10 11:22:47 FATAL: missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file > > 2004-11-10 11:22:47 HINT: See server log for details. > > > > Configuration file pg_hba.conf > > > > host all all 192.168.2.1/254 md5 > You don't have 254 bits in in IP address.

The IP of the client machine aim connecting from is 192.168.2.123 Which is greater than 32.

You can use either of: 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0/24 Both of these cover the range: 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.1.255 Might be worth searching for a network howto on CIDR subnet formats. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
Its works if I specify the ipaddress of each client which is being connecting to the server. Its hard to do it on a DHCP network . Any roundabouts ? - Goutam > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Huxton [mailto:dev@archonet.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 1:30 PM > To: Goutam Paruchuri > Cc: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org > Subject: Re: [SQL] Error In connection ?? > > > Goutam Paruchuri wrote: > > My understanding was it means ip range of 1 to 254. > > > > 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.1.254 > > No, it refers to the number of bits.
