I'm trying to install Cubit which requires postgresql. But I keep getting this 
error:
  psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "pguser"

when I type
  psql -U pguser

I've googled on the error and made changes to pg_ident.conf and pg_hba.conf as 
suggested but I still get the error, even thought I restarted the service. 

I also followed this howto:
HOWTO use the PostgreSQL server in few steps
by Christian Belisle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This file is included with the Mandrake PostgreSQL's packages.

After you installed the packages, here is the procedure to
start quickly but nicely.

1- Become root user on your machine. (su)
2- Become postgres user. (su postgres)
3- Create a user (createuser)
4- Be sure that the postmaster is running (service postgresql status)
5- Logout from the postgres and the root account.
6- Test it. (psql -U [username])

 I'm actually surprised at how difficult this is to setup. Or more accurately, 
I'm surprised at how hard it is to get the info. 

Thanks folks,

Jarlath
