I have never used 'ident map" on any system. Yes, I know where the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf' files are located on Ubuntu, since I stated I modified them to allow internet connections and to use proper authentication. PostgreSQL has always allowed the apache user (nobody or apache) on some systems and the requested user (xxxxxxxx) to allow one to connect to the database from an external system. Its only the Ubuntu 12.04 (and perhaps earlier versions) that does not allow the apache user (www-data) and provided data to be different. So, what you appear to be saying is PostgreSQL acts differently on Ubuntu then it does on all other systems. Very strange.
