[MKSearch-dev] Database ident authentication

[Phil Shaw]

Chris,

This morning I updated my own FC4 build and ran the database test 
script. There were a couple of bash script corrections, which I have 
checked in. Most of the test program completed, but ultimately got 
the error:

Error getting database connection.
Connection rejected: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user 
"phil".

I suspect you will find the same.

This is good, because it shows the driver is loaded and can 
communicate with the postmaster. I'll take a deeper look this 
afternoon, but if you take a look at the notes in  
/var/lib/pgsql/pg_hba.conf you may be able to tweak the configuration 
and get it working yourself.

A 'host' configuration with local IP and simple ident before the 
other lines may do the trick, but I haven't tested it.

host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 ident

If the postmaster is running, you'll need to force a refresh of the 
configuration:

pg_ctl reload

More later.

Phil
