Greetings, It appears that if you do the following: Start the server with pg_hba.conf saying to use 'ident' Change pg_hba.conf to use 'md5' Send HUP signal to server Log in to server (with password), create a database It seems to revert to using 'ident' again, at least for that database and possibly overall. Havn't had a chance to play with it yet but it seems pretty straight-forward to repeat.
