[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="The Happiness Engine"]How would I find the file? WORKPLACE KNOWLEDGE: /etc/init.d is close enough to a Window's program's icon's properties. So look in the launch script. Probably right in the top it will set a variable for where the config file is, then you go and look at that while you google "what is the fucking option that makes this work + postgres". Then you swear at your co-workers and collect a paycheck. Throwing a chair is optional, but sorely tempting.[/quote] My understanding is that the only way to truly know which file is used is to query the DB. I actually ended up finding it by doing a sudo find at the root drive. It was taking forever but that system had some drives mounted that it was scanning that were enormous. Five minutes later pg_hba.conf showed up. I had been doing finds without sudo beforehand. Ah, well. [quote]It doesn't automatically open a file for you because it doesn't know what you're doing. Do you EVEN know how many chairs would be littering Times Square right now if I did a puppet run to install a package across 500 systems and that fucking mess decided to try to open a fucking interactive file editor in the middle of that shit?[/quote] Hmm. At this point, the reason for not forcing users to config the trust is clear, so I'll be spending the rest of the thread settling scores, performing unflattering caricatures and trying to drive everything off-topic. [quote]Your complaint is, "Why isn't the ENTIRE WORLD designed to make the one tinker-toy bullshit workflow I have in mind be the default? Like, shouldn't postgres just KNOW my cable modem's IP and grant it root?"[/quote] Well since postgresql is free, they make just as much money off me as they do some fella doing a mass install of databases. Which reminds me, I think The Naked and Famous are better than David Bowie. At least, his earlier stuff. ICJ [/quote]
