Replication problem

[Patrick Radtke]

did you try setting
sasl_pwcheck_method on the replica?

'unix' isn't a SASL mechanism.

you may want to try PLAIN (what do you use currently on the primary  
server)?

on the replica use this line
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

to make it only advertise PLAIN authentication, and then the primary  
machine will try using that sasl mechanism when connecting.
This will then invoke what you have for your sasl_pwcheck_method.
