Tom,
I have that 'local all trust' line commented out. And there is no other
entry in the file at all...
And what do you exactly mean by connecting via IP??? I assume that I am
connecting through UNIX socket because when I commented out the
local db1 crypt file1.dat
local db2 crypt file2.dat
and added following line :
host db1 MY_IP_ADDRESS MASK crypt file1.dat
It gave me following error:
DBI->connect failed: No pg_hba.conf entry for host localhost, user username,
database db1
at ./dbTest.pl line 9
Any idea???
TIA
Niral

That looks correct as far as it goes.

Are you sure the postmaster is checking the password at all? It sounds
to me like the postmaster might be selecting some earlier entry in
pg_hba.conf and not using these two. Did you comment out the default
entry for "local all trust"? Are you perhaps connecting via IP, rather
than via a Unix socket?
