Dear Friends,

I have installed Linux Fedore and wanted to work with the default installed postgres 7.3.4 database.

I could able to create to create user, but while try to connect, I got the following error message
psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user 

My pg_hba.conf file looks like below

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        IP-ADDRESS        IP-MASK           METHOD

local   all         all                                             trust
host all     all  192.168.2.0   255.255.255.0     trust

This is not the default configuration, so I suspect that you changed it. Try 
to reload PostgreSQL and try again.

Are you sure that you've commented (or maybe deleted) the "ident" line? 
AFAIR, if there is a line about ident auth before the lines that you've 
pasted, PostgreSQL will take care of that line and will try ident auth.

Also, a reload is required after a change in pg_hba.conf.

... and forgot to SIGHUP the postmaster after changing it, so the
original IDENT-based selection is still active.  Do "pg_ctl reload"
to get the postmaster to notice changes in its config files.
