Hi Christoph, Would you agree with me, i.e. do you know the following to be true, that peer authentication requires Unix socket (localhost) and that Unix socket requires peer identification for PostgreSQL?
I tried the other day to have password authentication via the Unix socket, but that failed: root@sid:/# psql -U icinga234 -W Password for user icinga234: psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "icinga234" If this is true, I think it warrants some improved logic during config. By the way, I see that PostgreSQL has a lot more authentication possibilities than when Sean invented dbconfig. I don't think I am going to support this on the short/mid term, but it may warrant improved messages here and there. Paul PS: I believe this works different for MySQL/MariaDB, so the answer is not trivial.
