+!!!Postgres hints:
+!!IDENT authentication failed for user
+
+Postgresql under [Debian] by default uses [IDENT] authentication to authenticate a user connecting to the database. In english this means that you can only connect to the database with the same username as your unix login. This can be edited in /etc/postgres/pg_hba.conf (Host Based Authentication) by changing "ident sameuser" with "trust" to let anyone connect to the database with any username without a password, or "crypt" etc.. The file is well commented, refer to it for more details.
