|
| using a clean pg_hba.conf file (no user lines added), this is what
| happened:
|
| *******
| ~# createuser -Upgsql
| Enter name of user to add: blabla
| Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
| Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
| psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "pgsql"
|
| createuser: creation of user "blabla" failed
| *******
|
| What am I doing wrong ?

| TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
|      joining column's datatypes do not match

Add a line:
local  all     all     ident   sameuser
to your pg_hba.conf
restart postgresql
find out under what userid is your postgresql running typicaly it would
be postgres, I'll supose that it is postgres:
su postgres
and do whatever you like with your database cluster.
Because of this I would suggest as a first step to do:
psql template1
SQL commands follow:
ALTER USER postgres password='SomeReallyBigSecretHere' ;

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
