OOo-1.1.4: Tools > Data Sources;  and then in the Dialog Box 
General:
name > mydb
database_type > postgresql
data source URL > sdbc:postgresql:host=local user=real_name 
or  "     "        "      "      :host=localhost user=real_name dbname=mydb
and similar other combinations.

Yes, and it doesn't seem to give authentication errors. Here are a few
of its most significative lines:

Strange enough: I just tried to connect while the server was shut down
and received the same OOo error message I receive when postgresql is up:
"No connection could be established for the URL"
"sdbc:postgresql:host=local user=real_name"
"Please check the current settings, for example user name and passwd"

Of course the password is the same password the user uses to log into
linux. [I'm using linux Debian/Sarge with kernel 2.4.27]

        Ennio
