release.

he, I hope this is the unix socket method that Olly is developing on the
current debian unstable release 7.1.1-3
isn't?

but why the tcp/ip also doesn't works ?

teixi(at)thinkpad:~$ grep -v ^# /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf | grep -i host

host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 ident sameuser
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reject

suid postgres works

teixi(at)thinkpad:~$ su - postgres -- psql template1

but without suid doesnt'

teixi(at)thinkpad:~$ psql -d template1 -U postgres -h localhost -p 5432
psql: IDENT authentication failed for user 'postgres'

any points ?

thanks
