Hi José,
You need to re-configure your Host Based Authentication (hba) file. This
is located in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf.
It seems that in there, you have set authentication for postgres to pass
only if the IDENT is correct (either postgres, or something else if you
are using mapping. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=1&file=client-authentication.html for more info). If you are aware that its using IDENT authentication and wish to continue to use it, you must start rhdb-admin as user postgres in order to connect to the cluster successfully.
If you do not wish to start rhdb-admin as user postgres, you will have
to configure the pg_hba.conf file to authenticate postgres on
"password"/"trust"/etc.
Regards,
Deepak
