Re: autentication problem

Juan,

Make sure that your linux user "postgres" has
permissions to access the tables on your linux box.

verify permissions for postgres on the postgres
directory structure.

it osunds like you aren't authenticating against some
check to make sure that postgres can access the
directories and/or tables.

best of luck.
