Yea! Worked by typing the new db name!  Sorry didn't notice that we can type a 
name
into the dropdown box.:(

Thank you!

A further question: we are using Debian system.  So when we leave the 'Address' 
box
blank (on the Add Server page of pgAdmin), according to the help file, it will 
go to
use the default Postgresql socket on the local machine. 
 We actually have a line as 'local all all   ident sameuser' in the pg_hba.conf
file.  But when I tried, pgAdmin couldn't log the user in and shows "Ident
Authentication Failed".  Then I modified the line pg_hba.conf file to 'local 
all all
 ident', and aaded a map line in the pg_ident.conf file to map the new user to 
user
'postgres'.  Still not work.

What has I done wrong?  Or how should I use the "ident" authen way through 
pgAdmin?

Thank you for your help!!

leo
