hi, try this in pg_hba.conf , if the db is on the same machine: local all all trust if db is on another machine in the local network host all all "ip_of_the_machine_to_connect_from" 255.255.255.0 trust Afterwards you need to reload the server (SIGHUP or pg_ctl reload) More documnetation you fin in the file pg_hba.conf. You can find this file in the data_directory of your PostgreSQL-Installation, default is /us/local/pgsql/data/ Best regards Hakan Kocaman Software-Developer digame.de GmbH Richard-Byrd-Str. 4-8 50829 Köln Tel.: +49 (0) 221 59 68 88 31 Fax: +49 (0) 221 59 68 88 98 Email: hakan.kocaman@xxxxxxxxx > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > majx@xxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 8:42 AM > To: pgsql-general > Subject: ask for help about postgresql > > > hi, > I'm trying to instal postgresql to support an open-source > software named dspace.
