you need to change auth methods in your pg_hba.conf file: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html basically identd means that you are who you are on the unix box. no -U flag, you can't log in as someone else. note that a "root" user is a bit of a mysqlism. The postgres user is the equivalent in postgresql. might you sudo su - postgres and try to connect? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
