Forget ident at this point. Let's see if we can get your machine to use the IPv4 line in pg_hba.conf. Try this --- compile with IPv6 commented out, as you have done, then remove the ::1 line from pg_hba.conf, and see if you can connect using this: > psql -U scncraft -h 127.0.0.1 and see what happens. Is your 'localhost' mapped to an IPv4 OR IPv6 address? Also, I am sure you realized you can connect without -h just using unix domain sockets, but that will not allow you to use ident. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
