Thanks Nick,
The first line in my pg_hba.conf file is:
local all trust
which should be all that is needed to allow a jdbc connection over ip
from 'postgres' on a local machine (and it shouldn't be a problem
that the connection program sends the password as well, I assume).
Is there some other line I should be adding to make this connection
possible. It seems like it should just work, but I'm probably
missing something.
Best,
Russ

JDBC connects using TCP/IP and this indicates that your host machine doesn't
have a line in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf allowing the requested
connection. This is necessary even if you are connecting to localhost.
Here's what our pg_hba.conf looks like:
local all peer sameuser
host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 ident sameuser
host all xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.255 trust
The first lines allow a connection on the same machine.
The last line allows a connection from the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
without any authentication. For details, search for pg_hba in the
interactive docs.
