I apologize if this is a repost, but it's been awhile since I posted it and
I haven't seen it in the newsgroup yet, so I'm afraid it didn't go through.
I tried to post directly to the newsgroup. Is that not allowed? Anyhow, on
to my problem.
I installed the Insight ODBC driver, but I can't seem to connect using
Access 97. I keep getting an error of "User authentication failed (#10)".
I'm not sure that I have everything setup properly. Is there a checklist of
some sort that I can use to test my configuration?
Here's what I've tested:
- I telnet to the Linux box on port 5432 and it connects, so postmaster
seems to be taking connections.
- I can use psql on the Linux box, under my username, to connect to a little
test database I created, so I think my privileges are setup properly
- I tried all three DSN types (user, system, and file) and they all had the
same result.
- Tried on an NT system and a Win95 system with no luck
I don't know enough about it to debug any more than that. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Did you start the backend with -i -p 5432
In the newer backend it is not the default to start with tcp/ip
support.
You can still connect with psql on the local machine but it will
fail on the backend.

I tried this, but I still get the authorization error. I think I'm getting
connected OK, but I can't get into the database. Maybe I don't have the ODBC
driver configured right. Is it correct to just put in my Linux username and
password?
