I don't think that would work. If I remember rightly, "peer" was a synonym for "ident" to be used for Unix socket connections. Accordingly, it should be followed by another parameter (as with "ident sameuser"). Would "'^local.*[ ]*peer[ ][^ ]*$'" do the job? -- Oliver Elphick olly@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/A54310EA 92C8 39E7 280E 3631 3F0E 1EC0 5664 7A2F A543 10EA ======================================== Do you want to know God? http://www.lfix.co.uk/knowing_god.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
