This is what the log says.
Aug 26 16:53:38 papio postgres[30351]: [3-1] LOG: could not accept SSL
connection: sslv3 alert certificate unknown.
The odd part is that, as far as I know,
no certificate should be required. Authentication
is happening via (Unix) username and password.
There is no root.crt file. See:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/ssl-tcp.html
(We could make one, but certificates seem a pain to
keep up with.)
