Does your pg_ident.conf contain anything with reference to testusr? As it
seems to be trying Ident authentication over everything else and failing.

Subject: [ADMIN] pg_hba.conf + all + trust = Ident authentication failed for
user "postgres"
PostgreSQL 8.1.0 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.0.3

(prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4)
Hi,
Can't get pg_hba.conf with trust to work:
testusr@test1:~$ psql -U postgres
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"
If I do "su postgres" and then "psql -U postgres" then it does work. But I
need
testusr to be able to use psql.
Installed "gidentd", rebooted psql but that did not seem to help.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

$ cat pg_hba.conf

local all all trust
