Hi Stéphane,

I know it sounds odd, but are you sure you're editting the right
pg_hba.conf file? Try a search of your system to look for others, because
if you deny access from localhost, then it *does* work.

Thank you for your answer. I allready tried to look for others, but the
one I edit is the only one on my system ... The owner of this file is
the postgres user.

The versions I use are :
Windows 2000 SERVER
Cygwin 1.3.22-1
Postgresql 7.3.2-1

Regards,

Stéphane.
