Hi, I recently experienced a weird bug with postgresql. I am running:
postgresql-7.2.1-8 postgresql-server-7.2.1-5 I was trying to connect to a database on a my machine from another machine. Initially, my pg_hba.conf looked like: host all 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 ident sameuser host all 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.128 password where my machine is 192.168.1.1 and the client is 192.168.1.2. Connecting using psql -h 192.168.1.1 failed stating: FATAL 1: IDENT authentification failed for user 'me' Then I changed the order of the lines in my configuration file: host all 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.128 password host all 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 ident sameuser Now the connection worked without problems. In the first case, it seems to be trying to use IDENT authentification, even though that should only apply to localhost.
