I am a Debian user and there are as yet no .deb installation files
available. I have managed to get SL installed and it seems to run up to
the point where I try to create databases or login to the accounting
system. I tried SL several versions ago & decided to wait for it to
mature. I want to try it now to see if will meet my needs. Is there any
body here with experience with Debian that I can correspond with to get
SL working? I have it installed on a Woody box that is currently up to
date. I also do not normally use postgres but MySQL, which is easier to
manage but does not perform transaction accounting. I need to swithc
over and currently not sure where the error is. It seems to be that SL
will communicate with the postgresql server but is refused admittance to
the database that I created using psql command line  instructions. I did
create a postrgres user that is also a linux user and I added the
www-data user to postgres as well. I did read & follow the Debian
installation instructions in the FAQ. The error that I get is below;

Error!

IDENT authentication failed for user 'fred'
