Package: postgresql-8.1 Version: 8.1.8-1 Severity: normal
According to this page: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html "A hostname of localhost matches both host (TCP) and local (Unix domain socket) connections coming from the local machine." However that does not work for me. I get prompted for a password. I have to put '*' in the hostname section to allow passwordless local unix socket connections. eg: Works: *:*:david:david:moo Does not work: localhost:*:david:david:moo -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_ZA, LC_CTYPE=en_ZA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postgresql-8.1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.4.4-8 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq4 8.1.8-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libssl0. 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii postgres 8.1.8-1 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgres 73 manager for PostgreSQL database cl postgresql-8.1 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
