I wasnt.
I have set that up now and increased the verbosity of logging.
Unfortunatly, this has not changed the behaviour at all.
ie:
Feb 26 14:59:17 workbench postgres[4243]: [20] FATAL 1: IDENT
authentication failed for user "testuser"
Is there an undocumented feature that requires ident tcp connections to
authenticate to postmaster and thereby disabling the sameuser ?
Has anyone else had success with this?
