Thank you. But the very beginning presumptions are showstoppers:

"You have enabled access in your cluster(s) via pg_hba.conf"

How to enable clusters in pg_hba.conf? What the heck are clusters? So
I have to read up a whole new bunch of docs. This is the problem with
the PG world--a wild labyrinth of reading materials.

How difficult would it have been to show a demo pg_hba.conf in this
page's example? This is my pg_hba.conf currently:


---
local   all         all                                              md5
host    all         all         127.0.0.1          255.255.255.255   md5
---


Where in there should I specify clusters?

Is there any clearer tutorial out there? This tutorial presumes I have
"master" and "slave" working. I.e., I have two databases out there. I
currently have only one PG database running with the "postgres" user
in charge. I have however installed Slony 1.2. But don't know what to
do next.

Any advice or pointers will be great. Thanks!
