Hello everyone, i solved the problem, the pg_hba.conf file was different. this is the working version, as found in debian, mac and the fedora 14 version where modified by a tool and only by this reason it worked. basically all i have on pg_hba.conf now is: [root@gau ~]# cat /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf local all all trust host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 [root@gau ~]# this works correctly on command line and java application can connect too. however any suggestion about security is welcome. 2011/11/9 Leonardo <sombriks@xxxxxxxxx>: > hello everyone, > > i'm still having issues with fedora 16 postgresql. > > now i am unable to connect with some customized user. > > i've followed the steps from this page: > > http://www.sakana.fr/blog/2007/06/06/postgresql-create-a-user-a-database-and-grant-accesses/ > > and it worked on fedora 15, debian, mac, and i am going to test on > fedora 14, but for sure there is something new in the field. > > again, any help is welcome > -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
