Remote PSQL...

The version of psql you are trying to connect with is not compatible with
the version of postgresql you are trying to connect to...

Hi,

I'm trying to use psql on a remote machine and every time I connect I get a
response "Unsupported front-end protocol." I did a packet sniff and saw
that it was trying to connect to the correct remote host and port number but
then the server would return the error response. I've looked through all
the documentation I could find and I'm at my wits end so if anyone could
point me in the right direction I would be grateful. TIA

Remote Host: OpenBSD 2.5
Client: RedHat 6.0

I think I sow that too, and afaik it's because of client/server library
incompatibility.Try upgrading the older ones - if any.
(btw - I noticed that when trying to connect a 6.4.2 client to 6.3.1 or
something).

Thanks that must be it. Using version 6.4.3 of psql with 6.3 of postgresql.
I'll give it a try.
