No you're right, there shouldn't be anything in pg_ident.conf. Check in your postgresql.conf file, and set "listen_interfaces" to *, so it listens on TCP/IP (if not already.) Then try connecting with "psql -U postgres -h localhost" and see if that lets you on. Also check your postgresql.conf file is not forcing pgSQL to look elsewhere for your config files.

My impression was that with "trust" nothing was needed in pg_ident.conf, no?
