Thanks Magnus,<br>

I was specifically trying to avoid the "log into everything" approach.
Figured that if the user has logged into the computer that should be
sufficient to establish their identity.<br>

<pre wrap="">Was looking to see if I could get pgAdmin to log into
postgresql 8.0.3 on Windows XP using the current windows
login information. Tried using the ident functionality on
pg_hba.conf to no avail.
Can someone post a link to a how to on this subject please?
Also can anyone tell me if there is an active project to
produce a "monitor" project that can sit in the task bar to
tell us how many users, cashe hits , start stop / reload etc.

There is no such functionality available. The way to do is to put a
pgpass.conf file in the users directory that specifies a password to
use. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html">http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html</a>.
(Or you can enable trust authentication, but that will let anybody
connect as whatever user they chose, without a password and without any
verification whatsoever)
