Both have PGHOST set. gd07 has a .pgpass, but psgdba does not. Does it still need a .pgpass even if it is already ‘trust’?
Thanks.

Hi,
Question on pg_hba.conf. I have these entries:
host all psgdba localhost trust
host all psgdba 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all gd07 localhost trust
host all gd07 127.0.0.1/32 trust
Can you post the whole of pg_hba.conf file?
You might have some other entry that is taking precedence.
Command to logon to Postgres:
/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/psql -d postgres
If you don't have PGHOST set then most likely you are not going over a tcp connection (which is what host entries in pg_hba are used for). Instead the local entries of pg_hba are taking effect.
If I am logged on ‘gd07’ at the server , it lets me log-on to Postgres without prompting for password
do you have a *.pgpass* file in the home directory?
If I am logged on as ‘psgdba’, it prompts for password.
As you can see, both have ‘trust’, but ‘gd07’ is the instance owner.
Why does ‘psgdba’ prompts? What I am missing?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
