* What does the PostgreSQL log say? * Does it work when you install an identd? (That shouldn't be required when connecting using UNIX sockets, but it may be help diagnose the problem; on UNIX sockets, SO_PEERCRED is supposed to be used to check the user's identity.) * Does it work when you install an identd and try to connect using TCP ("-h localhost")? * Could you paste the relevant part of pg_hba.conf? (The first non commented-out line should read "local all postgres ident".) > 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" psql uses UNIX sockets by default, so that should indeed not change anything. I guess that something might be wrong with kFreeBSD's SO_PEERCRED (or its detection by the configure script).
