[OSM-dev] osm2pgsql.exe

[Stefan Baebler]

Good morning!

I've put it aside this for the moment, but not before coming to
conclusion that osm2pgsql.exe is always throwing this (deceiving
authentication problem) message regardless of the real connection
problem (eg socket not open). Or so it seems.
Hope it helps and sorry for late reply.

Stefan
