Thread: User Authentication Problem

I installed Postgres from RPMs from a RedHat site on to RH 5.0.

I didn't have the latest ncurses library and I had I had to do a --force
to get that to install.

I have user authentication turned off with the trust parameter in
pg_hba.conf.

I can connect fine from the local machine with pgsql to postgres user or
to
new users I have created.  However, over IP, with ODBC and with pgaccess

(using the server's IP), I always get user authentication failure.
However with
the trust parameter, there should be no user authenitication being
attempted!

What's wrong here?

Please send reply to bryan@flesherfab.com

The RPMS that I got from a Red Hat mirror appear to have been to
source of the problem (at least on my non-upgraded Red Hat 5.0
machine).

I compiled the source and everything works great.

Thanks to all for making the DB possible.  If things go well just tell
me where to mail the check for one of your CDs.
