Hi,
I have a 6.3.2 server, and I want to use password authentication.
So, I gave the user 'postgres' and some other user a password, and I put this
in my pg_hba.conf:
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password
host all 206.31.72.11 255.255.255.255 password
But I cannot connect this way using a password (psql -u). I can connect
if I set everything to 'trust', but in that case I can even fool
posttresql in thinking I'm user postgres while I'm logged on as the other
user by using password authentication and using 'postgres' as username
while supplying a fake password.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Maarten
