I get an error: psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "postgres", database "template1" when I try to run "psql template1" (which I have been doing successfully for several years) version 8.4.5 compiled with no switches centos 5.5 It worked last week, not this week. I saw a reference to run a command "show hba_file" but there hasn't been any clue as to WHERE one runs that command. Please hold my hand. Which user (root or postgres) and which program? Thanks in advance. jk -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
