IP address for Wider Use?

[Dan Ridinger]

Hello Das,

Setting up access to the outside world id defined in the hba config file in Postgres

I have put a link in for the documentation on pg_hba.conf file setup. This file controls what IP’s can access the database and a number of other access control information. There are some good examples  of setups.
