Because "ident" is a different service, standard, but seldom used, and probably not even installed. Why PostgreSQL tries to use it, I don't know, I'm not an expert in PostgreSQL. pidentd-...rpm: This package contains identd, which implements a RFC1413 identification server. Identd looks up specific TCP/IP connections and returns the user name and other information about the connection. oidentd-....rpm: Summary : Configurable IDENT server that supports NAT/IP masq Description : Oidentd is an ident (rfc1413 compliant) daemon that runs on Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Solaris. oidentd can handle IP masqueraded/NAT connections on Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD (ipf only), OpenBSD and NetBSD. Oidentd has a flexible mechanism for specifying ident responses. Users can be granted permission to specify their own ident responses. Responses can be specified according to host and port pairs. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDIu6ItTMYHG2NR9URAnYwAJ4nx7bOYs/FTSEyrUbaVhg4MHeYZACggSMn kzlE8cPy6osjto1WrjHr5QY= =tSwy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
