I would have a look at the user the fastcgi process is running as. The ident method of authentication looks at process-owner users, so that is important. In all the cases you mention above, *you* are the owner of the process trying to do the connection. In your fastcgi case, this is not necessarily true. > [2] How do I resolve this issue? :) Switch away from using ident authentication to password-based authentication, for example.
