[DB-SIG] pypg pure Python db driver for Postgresql

[Randall Smith]

That's it.

tail /var/log/daemon.log

Jul 12 10:23:32 localhost identd[568]: started
Jul 12 10:23:32 localhost identd[568]: netlink_lookup: write failed: 
Connection refused

So what probably happened is that there is no 'AuthenticationOk' message 
  returned for ident.  That's why you got the immediate 
'ParameterStatus' message.

For now, I know that md5, cleartext, and trust work.

I have updated pypg to work with ident authentication and put the new 
version on the website http://www.tnr.cc/pypg.html.

I'll add support for Unix sockets later.

Thanks.  You've been helpful.
