If you're using IDENT authentication then you can't log in under a

(At least, not without fooling around with creating an ident user map,
which is probably more trouble than you want to go to.)

I'd suggest setting up your pg_hba.conf file so that this connection
is checked using passwords instead of IDENT.

********First of all thanks for your help.

As you suggested, I commented in the file "pg_hba.conf.sample" the following
line:
********local *all * * all * * ident * sameuser

and added the line this line:

********local * all * * all * * password



I have a new error message which is: [unixODBC]Could not connect to the
server; Could not connect to remote socket.
********I have the impression that I did not installed all the PostgreSQL
packages?
