Hi,

I'm trying connect pgadmin3 to the postgres 7.4.2 server running on the
same computer but I am unable to do it. I am using the default fc2 install
of postgresql. The postgres service is running and from the terminal I am
able to connect via psql.
------------------------------------
[root(at)localhost root]# su - postgres
-bash-2.05b$ psql test
Welcome to psql 7.4.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

test=# exit
test-# \q
-bash-2.05b$ exit
logout
------------------------------------

I started pgadmin3 from a root terminal and into the "Connected to a
server" dailog I entered:
Description: x
Server: localhost
Port: 5432
Inital database: test
Username:postgres
Trusted: UNchecked
Password: (left it blank)

Upon clicking the OK button I got:
An error has occured:
Error connecting to the server: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host
"127.0.0.1", user "postgres", database "test", SSL off

But in the pg_hba.conf file there is this line:
local all all ident sameuser
which I thought would allow any type of connection to the postgres server
from the local machine.

Thanks for any help.
