I didn't mean it was pre-set to trust - actually pre set to "peer" -
I set it to "trust" to try to fix failure - no luck - it did not work
but do think default should be set to "md5" or "trust" but based on mail
list msgs maybe md5 is better than trust

how is this fixed ? or what is proper procedure ?
