Hash: SHA1

log in as root and edit the file

/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

Right on the top there is a line
#tcpip_socket=true
make sure this line has no # in front (comment)
and see that it has "true" as the value.

Second check out pg_hba.conf
At the end there are entries of who may access the database.
Just to make it work (without security considerations) see that the two lines

local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

are there and don't have a hash (#) in front.

Restart postgresql (as root: /etc/init.d/postgresql restart) or just reboot
the machine.
If you still have problems connecting as postgres (no password) you might want
to give the postgres account a password (Mandrake Controlcenter section
users, or just start userdrake manually).

Hope that helps.
