Re: simple md5 authentication problems

Thanks for the response, but changing to 127.0.0.1 didn't help.

Changing this line sets the db wide open:

host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust

From there, another non-root login can access it with any user /
password.

What I really need is this command to work with a non-root
account, with only the right username and password - in this case the
pre-configured postgres account:

psql -U postgres -h 127.0.0.1
