postgresql
I have installed PostgreSQL and pgAdminIII on my Ubuntu Karmic box.
I am able to use pgAdminIII successfully (i.e. connect/log on), however when I try to login to the server using the same username/pwd on the command line (using psql), I get the error:
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"
Does anyone now how to resolve this issue?
