In postgresql.conf I have "#listen_addresses = 'localhost'" and I am logged in directly into the box, without telnet, ssh or whatever. But "psql -U postgres -h localhost" DID WORK (after I entered the password) and that's a big step forward, thanks. I'm still not sure why I needed to enter the password, though... my idea of "trust" is somewhat different... --- Andy Shellam <andy.shellam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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.
