Ident sameuser means that the user will be identified with the IDENT protocol. Then if the unix user name matches a postgresql user name, the user can connect without providing the password. Without giving 'sameuser', the unix and postgresql user names will be matched through pg_ident.conf. (I think I'm offtopic here, sorry) Best, Laci
