Re: Database permissions

local is for all local connections, phppgadmin i guess is local, if
run on the same computer  could be local, depending on your
configuration.

is access and odbc on a different computer? in that case you could add

host all all ipnumber mask trust

to allow access to all databeses as any user for connections coming
from ipnumber.
in this case ipnumber being the computer with access.

if you use "local" and "ident with sameuser" and run php (like needed
for phppgadmin) then your web user must be allowed to access that
database, meaning you should have a postgresql user with the same name
and with permission to access that database.

this is the obvious, so have probably tried it already, but i can't
think of other answer.
