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).
Ugh.
Ok, no worries. There are other ways to get around it, but what that error message is saying is that the failure you're seeing isn't caused by ODBC.
It's actually the PostgreSQL "Host Based Access" settings file (pg_hba.conf) in the PostgreSQL data directory. Most *nix distributions have it configured by default to allow access without a password for local users, and tighter security (or zero access) for remote users.
Two options you can probably look at here. One is to look at your firewall settings and see if your system really is setup to do IDENT authentication, and the other way of doing things is to read through the (pretty verbose) description of how things work in comments of the the pg_hba.conf file, to try an authentication method other than ident.
Both ways could work, it just depends on you. I'd pick the second, only because I'm more familiar with it, but you might not be. :)
Hope that helps.
