No, the 0.2.4 client connects to the v4 database.

We are releasing 0.2.4.1 tarballs as I write. They should

fiddling with pg_hba.conf as we discussed in this thread.
That should also allow for dbconfig-common-ization of the
whole process.

No doubt about it. A "proper" mechanism would be helpful in
