Hi, I just installed a test machine where I expect to run (also) postgresql.
After installing the package, I'm unable to access as postgresql user: [...] Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server: main. Setting up postgresql (8.4.7-0squeeze2) ... Setting up postgresql-client (8.4.7-0squeeze2) ... root@netmon:~# su - postgres postgres@netmon:~$ psql template1 psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" I already checked that a fresh "traditional" squeeze machine does not behave the same (and known squeeze bugs say nothing about this), so this seems a kFreeBSD-flavour issue. Did not try to get around the problem (sorry) so can't really tell where the problem is, only that passing the socket path does not change the behavior: postgres@netmon:~$ psql template1 --host /var/run/postgresql psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres" Is anybody using postgres on squeeze/kFreeBSD? -- # Emanuele Balla # # # System & Network Engineer # Cell: +39 348 7747907 # # Spin s.r.l. - AS6734 # Phone: +39 040 9869090 # # Trieste # Email: ba...@staff.spin.it # -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
