Dear members

i work in linux fedora core 5
and i am rookie with postgresql 8.2.4

i cant understand this behaviour

i only can loggin in postgres with superuser and not like a simple user

see that "root" is a user for postgresql

usename  | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd |  passwd  |
valuntil | useconfig
----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+-----------
 postgres |       10 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |
|
 root     |    16395 | t           | t        | t         | ******** |

[SomeUser@localhost ~]$ su
Contraseña:
[root@localhost SomeUser]# psql -d somedb -U root

somedb=#


see that i need logged like root in linux (#)
to enter

but
it fall if i am not root in linux, thats mean $

[SomeUser@localhost ~]$ psql -d somedb -U root
Contraseña para usuario root:
psql: FATAL:  la autentificación Ident falló para el usuario «root»
[SomeUser@localhost ~]$ psql -d somedb -U root
psql: FATAL:  la autentificación Ident falló para el usuario «root»
[SomeUser@localhost ~]$


how i can resolver this??
i cant get a successful connection with my java application and i cant
use my aqua data studio to make the connection and test some queries

and worst

according with the manual

  -W               preguntar contraseña (debería suceder automáticamente)

ask the password automatically

but this never happens, what is wrong?

here my  pg_hba.conf
located in
[root@localhost pgsql]# pwd
/usr/share/pgsql


host     panamotor   root    127.0.0.1/32           255.255.255.255 trust

thanks in advanced
