Using "ident sameuser" with Mac OS X Leopard

I can't seem to make the "ident sameuser" authentication method
work on Mac OS X Leopard (or "ident" with a specified mapping). It
seems Apple removed identd from the system, I can't find it and
nothing is listening on port 113. Any ideia how to make this work on
Leopard?

You sure it worked before? I don't see much sign of identd on Tiger
either.

I believe Darwin supports ident-over-unix-sockets, for which you
don't need an ident daemon.

Then don't use ident? In your situation I would switch the pg_hba.conf
from "ident sameuser" to use something sensible like md5 instead, even if
ident did work. Did you specifically want that feature, or did it just
show up when you did a default install of somebody's package? If the
latter, the packager you used should change their default.

Hi!

I'm sorry for the long delay, I have been really busy here.

Yes, it worked before. I was checking my server backups before
upgrading to Leopard, and it was working with ident sameuser. On
Leopard, with the exact same configuration, it doesn't.

Leopard appears to support that, so I believe it's a Postgresql bug.

Hi!

Damn, I'm so stupid. All it needed was a restart. A reload was not
enough. :( Sorry, guys.
