Hi folks,
I've been searching archives and helpfiles, and I am still very
confused.

My problem: newly created users cannot connect to a database. Older
users can connect.
The scenario: run pqsl from the webserver to connect to the database
server.

Example:
================================================
cath@webserver:~$ psql -h dbserver -U testuser -d casemgr
psql: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "150.203.157.27", user
"testuser", database "casemgr", SSL off

cath@webserver:~$ psql -h dbserver -U cath -d casemgr
Password:
Welcome to psql 7.4.8, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
        \h for help with SQL commands
        \? for help on internal slash commands
        \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
        \q to quit

SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256)
================================================

Now this is odd. It's from the SAME account on the SAME machine. Old
accounts work, automatically connect with ssl, new accounts don't.

Did I do something weird when making my account way back when, that I
forgot for the new user?
I just used createuser as normal... And the test user can connect
successfully from the database server.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Cath
