Hi all. I've just installed the lastest version (6.5.3) on my x86 RedHat 6.0 Linux machine. Everything works correctly with "trust" authentication, but when I change auth mode to "password" or "crypt", psql won't authenticate me. I've created my user ("mkycler"), then altered its password with ALTER USER mkycler WITH PASSWORD "mk1234"; --> CHANGE Then I've modified my pg_hba.conf to the following: local all password host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust host all 10.20.1.1 255.255.240.0 password After that psql -u mybase fails, even if I type in CORRECT username ("mkycler") and password ("mk1234"). Authentication fails on local machine as well as while connecting to PostgreSQL from WinNT using ODBC. I've searched through archive of this list, but I couldn't find any answer. Will anyone help me?
