Re: psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user"postgres"

Hi Karsten,

The only non-commented lines are:

[root@RH-Dev data]# cat pg_hba.conf | grep -v '^#'

local   all         all                               trust
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
host    all         all         ::1/128               trust

That depends on the content of your pg_hba.conf file.
