Is Ident server something I need to set up? Why would I do that

> host all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 password

I was able to get the connection when I made the entry
host all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.255 trust

However on changing the 'trust' to 'password' I get a password
authentication failure-- I tried by using a blank passwd and then
changed the password of the user postgres & tried that. Both failed.
Not sure why I shouldn't leave the AUTH_TYPE to 'trust' -- bad security
maybe??

Replace the word ident with the word password. You want a line like:

host all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 password

You'll need to adjust the ip/subnet mask as approriate.
