Im having problems setting up postgres with new users.  It is a new install using 7.3..8 rpms.  Use the following to create a new user.

create USER foo WITH PASSWORD 'secret';

When I try to login I get the following error:

[root@host postgressql]# psql template1 -U foo --password

Password:

psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "foo"

If anyone can help me with this, I would be greatful.

Thank you,
