I'm making progess, but SLOOOOOWLY...

I now have a new db postgres, and now my targed db airburst

I have both 7.4 & 8.2 on this box.
When I:
    postgres@smithrn-ltb1:/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin$ psql -U
airburst airburst -p 5433

I get:
    psql: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "airburst"

REFERRING TO /etc/postgresql/7.4/main
My pg_hba.conf has:
    # IPv4-style local connections:
    host    all         all         127.0.0.1
255.255.255.255   trust            # RNS added

My postgresql.conf has:
    syslog = 2 # 0                  # range 0-2; 0=stdout; 1=both;
2=syslog
    client_min_messages = debug1
    log_min_messages = debug1
    log_min_error_statement = error

YET I'm getting NO logging in either /var/log/syslog nor in /var/log/
postgresql/postgresql-7.4-main.log

WHY?
Why no logging
and Why unable to connect?

User postgres connects fine.

One more thanks!
