Re: pg_hba.conf + all + trust = Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"

Does your pg_ident.conf contain anything with reference to testusr? As it
seems to be trying Ident authentication over everything else and failing.

Subject: [ADMIN] pg_hba.conf + all + trust = Ident authentication failed for

PostgreSQL 8.1.0 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.0.3

(prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4)

Hi,

Can't get pg_hba.conf with trust to work:

testusr(at)test1:~$ psql -U postgres
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"

If I do "su postgres" and then "psql -U postgres" then it does work. But I
need
testusr to be able to use psql.

Installed "gidentd", rebooted psql but that did not seem to help.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

$ cat pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust
