Re: pg_hba changes not honored

Pg_ctl is pointing to the same directory that postmaster points to on
startup. There is only 1 data directory/postgres installation that I
use.

Pg_ctl informs that postmaster is signaled. When I see the logs for
postmaster, it says "received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files"

Linux 2.4.21-40.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux

Postgres 8.1.2

Hm. OK, that means we need to look closer at how you're using pg_ctl.
Are you sure you're pointing it at the right data directory? Does it
claim to have successfully signaled the postmaster? What PG version
is this exactly, and on what platform?
