Hi Tom, I can assure you that there are no problem anymore now that I have put the password.
However the modification pg_hba.conf has been done a few days ago and never noticed the error until today where I had a *LOT* of visits to my site. So I still think it's a matter of bad connection delay. Connexion where comming very fast and postmaster did'nt release them fast enough. I now have this problem when I run vacuum analyze: Script started on Mon Oct 21 18:20:35 2002 ~ 18:20:35: psql pyrenet Password: Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Again, this is the very first time I have such problems on postgresql!! It works so well, it's the central point of my system!!
