I'm using 7.4 before we upgrade.
pg_dumpall worked fine on working cluster.
I Imported it all into a virgin install of 7.4 on a different box.
Used pg_ctl to restart that box after the import.  All went fine.


On trying to connect as a valid user on that database I get:
   DATE  TIME FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "username"
   psql FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "username"


On that box pg_hba.conf has...
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP- MASK METHOD

local all all ident sameuser local all all trust
   # IPv4-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5
   # IPv6-style local connections:
host all all ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff md5
I thought local would allow me w/ 'all'.


None of the PG____ environment variables are set.
I thought they would be c/o the import all.
Where should I make them permanent?
