That's why I attempted to do. I read the documentation, followed the examples and configured the service in a way I thought would work. When that didn't work I tried variation after variation. Nothing I did seemed to work so I thought I would ask the mailing list. From the responses I gather pg_ident is the wrong way to go. I guess you are supposed to use su. In my case (in this particular instance anyway) su will probably work. I guess that's good enough for now. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
