Hi Ben,

I think the simplest way to solve your logging problem would be for me
to look at your installation.  At the same time, I'll take a look at
your pqact.conf file (which does sound suspect based on what you
described).  Would you allow me to log in to your machine?  If so,
please encode the necessary info, or call me: (303) 497-8677.

Anne
