Does Windows have the equivalent of Unix domain sockets? On a Unix machine, psql uses unix domain sockets by default, which are controlled by an entry like: # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust The following entry: # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust Will only apply if you connect via loopback networking (which is not psql's default). Try your connect command like this: psql template1 -U postgres -h 127.0.0.1 and see if the results change. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
