Hi,
I have connection established between my windows ( where i am trying
to use pgadmin with pgmigration wizard) and linux and of course a
firewall that I believe is set correctly to allow ports connect (
113according to refusal error in postmaster)...
I'm wondering if anyone can help me diagnose the error in Subject
line of this post....Ive tried editing both fiewall and pg_hba.conf to
get this working..no dice
thx anyone
lee

You obviously can't use ident based authentication from an OS that
doesn't provide the ident service. So you'll have to edit the
pg_hba.conf and enable the md5 authentication mechanism, for example.
Your pg_hba.conf should contain the necessary comments to understand its
format.
HTH,

Nope.
There are several ident servers for windows - like
http://identd.dyndns.org/identd/.

Maybe. I'd recommend to the OP to still read the handbook section about
ident-based auth, including the warnings there [1].

Not maybe, the ident servers exists.
Your recommendation is worth, however.
