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

No you're right, there shouldn't be anything in pg_ident.conf.

Check in your postgresql.conf file, and set "listen_interfaces" to *, so it
listens on TCP/IP (if not already.)

Then try connecting with "psql -U postgres -h localhost" and see if that
lets you on. Also check your postgresql.conf file is not forcing pgSQL to
look elsewhere for your config files.

No, pg_ident.conf is empty (i.e. contains only comments). My impression was
that with "trust" nothing was needed in pg_ident.conf, no?

Thanks
