I assume phpPgAdmin now works because the web server is on the same
machine as the database. Accepting the connection has nothing to do
with the machine the browser is running on. Setting this to trust and
using phpPgAdmin is not good from a security standpoint. You should
look at the FAQ and INSTALL files in the pgpPgAdmin installation for
further details on setting this up.
With ODBC, do you see authentication errors in your PostgreSQL log?
This might provide the clue you need to fix the problem.
