RE: [INTERFACES] JDBC connection refused

Unsure if it will help, but try:

> telnet localhost 5432
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

rubbish text I typed.

EInvalid packet lengthConnection closed by foreign host.

But instead try 'birch' or the IP address and see what
you get. But the pg_hba file looks fine as you've got it
I think. Maybe a red herring but check whether there's any
firewalling set up on the server that stops you from connecting.

Here's the tail end of the file /var/lib/pgsql/pg_hba.conf. I've restarted
twice since setting this info, using /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart.
Then I tried a stop and a start just for good measure. The machines I'm
trying to connect from are both 192.168.2.x. Did I get this right?

------------------
# By default, allow anything over UNIX domain sockets and localhost.

local all trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
host all 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 trust
------------------

Thanks for your help.
