  (Example)

  A_server(6.5.3)           B_server(7.0)
     |                         |
  ---+------------+------------+---- network
                  |
              C_server(7.0) + terminal

 * Telnet-login is not permitted in A_server and B_server.
 * Telnet-login is permitted in C_server.(We use C_server's psql)

 In this case, we can not use \l and \df command for A_server.

 Should we use 6.5.3 as a C server?

(If we use 6.5.3-psql, we can not use \df command for B_server, and
 we can not display a database-encoding of B_server when \l is used.)
