Hello all,

I have recently installed postgres 8.3 and I was slightly thrown by the
default authentication as set in pg_hba.conf

It appears that ident authentication is the default and not trust
authentication. Has this changed between versions or has it always been this
way?

Any illumination of this point would be appreciated!

Cheerio,

Nic Hemley
