Jul 12 10:23:32 localhost identd[568]: started Jul 12 10:23:32 localhost identd[568]: netlink_lookup: write failed: Connection refused So what probably happened is that there is no 'AuthenticationOk' message returned for ident. That's why you got the immediate 'ParameterStatus' message. For now, I know that md5, cleartext, and trust work. I have updated pypg to work with ident authentication and put the new version on the website http://www.tnr.cc/pypg.html. I'll add support for Unix sockets later. Thanks. You've been helpful.
