ident authentication failed for user postgres. - Mailing list pgsql-novice

 dear friends,

 thanks devrim. the yum install  worked fine. however
i can not connect  to the database i made in
postgresql-8.0.3-1 using  pgadminIII. it posted ident
authentication failed for user postgres.

 i tried to edit the pg_hba.conf file and added  host
all     all      192.168.9.0.0/24  md5 under IPv4
local connections as suggested in the message in
pgadminIII,  but still it did not connect.

  what would be the best approach to remedy this
problem.

 thanks for any advice.

 ramon
