The most recent Postgres version 8.4.2 has changed the default client 
authentication mechanisms in pg_hba.conf from "trust" to "ident" and 
"md5".  This is at least true of the Ubuntu package distribution.  This 
has the unfortunate result of breaking the fresh_install ant script for 
deploying DSpace with a database authentication exception.   My 
experience was with a recent DSpace 1.5.2 distribution.

At the very least, DSpace install documentation should probably specify 
the appropriate authentication mechanism in pg_hba.conf to support the 
local jdbc connection made by the ant fresh_install script.  Whether 
this is the most appropriate solution is another question.
