Hi,

Can't get pg_hba.conf with trust to work:
 testusr@test1:~$ psql -U postgres psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"

If I do "su postgres" and then "psql -U postgres" then it does work. But I need
testusr to be able to use psql.

Installed "gidentd", rebooted psql but that did not seem to help.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance
