[SL] problem: postgres IDENT

[Keld S. <ke...@dk...>]

When I try to create a new database, or connect to an
existing one I get the follwing error message:
FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres"

I can see the dbs when running psql as postgres.
Could it be a firewall problem, or networking problem
or some passwd problem?

This is just after moving from postgres 7.1 to 7.2 
under Mandrake 8.2 and loading the databases.
