When I try to run
% psql
as the postgres user, I get the error
psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off
I don't understand this error, since the pg_hba.conf file includes the line:
local all all ident sameuser
What could explain this behavior?
Incidentally, is there a general way to get positive confirmation that a particular pg_hba.conf has been re-read upon bouncing the server with
kill -HUP <PID>
?
TIA!
