PostgreSQL 8.1.0 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.0.3 20051111 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4) Hi, Can't get pg_hba.conf with trust to work: testusr@test1:~$ psql -U postgres psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" If I do "su postgres" and then "psql -U postgres" then it does work. But I need testusr to be able to use psql. Installed "gidentd", rebooted psql but that did not seem to help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance -------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ cat pg_hba.conf # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 trust -------------------------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
