Hi, it is my first shot using Mono and I failed to get the example from http://www.mono-project.de/wiki/keyword/PostgreSQL/ working. The reason is obviousely that whatever I tried NpgsqlConnection tries to use password authentication but I have configured my system that ident authentication is used by default. I'm using Debian GNU/Linux testing running postgresql 8.2 and mono 1.2. Could anybody enlight me how to connect to a database where users have no password set because always ident authentication is used on local host. I hope this is the right list for this kind of questions. Any hint for a better place to ask is welcome as well. Kind regards Andreas. PS: It would be welcome if you keep me in CC because I'm not subscribed to the list, but I can read the archive as well. -- http://fam-tille.de ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
