This is what I did: 1: I reinstalled postgresql RPMs from scratch (I removed all the logs, data files, backup files)
2: su root 3: su postgres 4: psql template1 And here I got the error message: psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "foobar" User "foobar" was an old user I created for the database *before* I wiped out everything and reinstalled the RPMs. It is already gone from my /etc/password. (since I was using IDENT) What could have gone wrong? I must have left the trace of user foobar somewhere in my system but I couldn't find it.
