when i try to run any command that uses the xml file for auth, it failes with:

FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"

ident authentication means unix user "joe" can only authenticate as postgres user/role "joe" (unless you set up an ident map, which imho is a bit messy)


when i use 'password' or 'md5' it works.


btw, i would have used password or md5 if there was a away to run psql commands with password unattended (without password prompt..).


use a $HOME/.pgpass file
