I have CND 1.0 RiskyHacked to 2.0.23 kernel, RPM updated to 2.2.9 via
CPIO.  I just loaded the postgres95 RPM and am trying to setup a database.
I can su to the postgres user, I can initdb or cleardbdir, but when I try 
to create a user via createuser, I get the following error:
        database access failed

I am starting the postmaster server with:
        postmaster -d 9 >& pm.log &  <-- very verbose logging....

Pm.log contains:
        FindBackend:    found "/usr/bin/postgres" using PATH
        binding ShmemCreateKey....
        postmaster:     ServerLoop:     ...
        ....
        be_recvauth: host-based authentication failed
        postmaster: ConnStartup: authentication failed

I am not using kerberos or any other type of authentication.  This is on 
a private network so authentication is not necessary.  I have tried 
-a noauth, -a nokerberos, etc. and still get the same message.  I have
tried on two machines (with similar configurations).

Thanks,

Use LINUX -- It works.... Win95 Crashes....  
MickySoft should rename Start to Crash per truth in advertising laws. 
Where do you want to CRASH today?
