The package works for me with one change to config.php: dbconfig-common leaves
the $dbhost blank by default (not filled with `localhost').
I'm not sure how to set up ident-based authentication with dbconfig-common
(which would be used when $dbhost == ""): this would require changing the
user name used to connect to Postgres. So I could not test if this would still
work, but I think it would still work if $dbhost is set to the socket name.
If users want to configure ident-based auth, they might be confused by the fact
that phpbb3 silently changes the $dbhost variable. I also noticed that
dbconfig-common mentions that changes to Postgres' authentication setup might
be required, so I think it would be ok to leave this change out. But having a
solution that works out-of-the-box is very nice as well...
Regards,
Ansgar
