Please shed some light This is not the default configuration, so I suspect that you changed it. Try to reload PostgreSQL and try again. -- 10:04:02 up 10 days, 14:35, 4 users, load average: 0.27, 0.24, 0.27 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Martín Marqués | select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' Centro de Telematica | DBA, Programador, Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral -----------------------------------------------------------------

AFAIR, if there is a line about ident auth before the lines that you've pasted, PostgreSQL will take care of that line and will try ident auth. Also, a reload is required after a change in pg_hba.conf.

... and forgot to SIGHUP the postmaster after changing it, so the
original IDENT-based selection is still active. Do "pg_ctl reload"
to get the postmaster to notice changes in its config files.
