Package: postgresql-8.1 Version: 8.1.0-3 Severity: normal Hi,
If you happen to be using IPv6 (as I do), the default setup of the ident method will fail. Unfortunately pidentd, the default in Debian, does not work with IPv6. The only way to discover this is to strace the postgresql postmaster -- certainly not easy. So either postgresql 8.1 should depend on oidentd (the only one I tested, so I know it works) or Debian should switch its default ident service to something which works on both IPv4 and IPv6. This probably warrants some further attention to see if gidentd also works (since it seems like it might be a more compatible replacement for pidentd as it can also run from inetd) but after wasting an hour debugging this, I need to get on with other things.
