indeed I typed a comment before without ending it with ";" that might
explain the "syntax error" !
for my pb, I have part of an explanation -> I forgot to recreate the
user ! so here I go again in one command to create user and set password:
$ createuser ezpublish -P
Enter password for new user: *******
Enter it again: *******
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) n
CREATE USER
then:
$ psql ezpublish_db -U ezpublish -W
Password: *******
psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "ezpublish"
I really don't understand :-(
If I go with postgres user, no pb:
$ psql ezpublish_db -U postgres
Welcome to psql 7.4.8, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

if it can help to debug, here's my users list:
ezpublish_db=# select * from pg_user;
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
-----------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+-----------

postgres | 1 | t | t | t | ******** | |
ezpublish | 100 | t | f | f | ******** | |
(2 rows)

If you have an idea , I'll really apreciate

Thanks !.
