Right. This means that for the particular combination of access method, client host, user and database, the corresponding line in pg_hba.conf specifies ident authentiaction. This is no use for web-based applications, where the ident user is always the user who is running the web-server. Remember that the *first* matching line in pg_hba.conf is the one that applies; also remember to reload/restart postgresql after changing that file. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/A54310EA 92C8 39E7 280E 3631 3F0E 1EC0 5664 7A2F A543 10EA ======================================== "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
