Hi Joerg, finally something in the /var/post*/postgres.log! I tried from OOo :sdbc:postgresql:host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 and got this in the log:
2005-03-21 00:35:01 [5232] LOG: connection received: host=[local] port= 2005-03-21 00:35:01 [5232] LOG: connection authorized: user=postgres database=odontolinux 2005-03-21 00:37:48 [5241] LOG: connection received: host=127.0.0.1 port=32937 2005-03-21 00:37:48 [5241] LOG: could not connect to Ident server at address "127.0.0.1", port 113: Connection refused 2005-03-21 00:37:48 [5241] FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "ennio" Could it have something to do with the firewall? (I have an iptables but I havn't really studied it, neither I know how I could stop it to verify if it has anything to do with what is happening).
