Thank you Richard!! I've made the changes and can login to the DBs through pgAdmin
now!:) Really appreciated your help!!! I am starting to learn about the postgresql
now.:))

Seems like the pgAdmin3 uses also the Unix socket pipe. I left only the first line
in the pg_hba.conf enabled as "local all postgres trust" and pgAdmin3 was able to
login.:)

I am checking on this.;) If you got any more hints, please let me know. THANK
YOU!!!
