Thanks, I just subscribed to several lists. It's very nice that you offer news server
access and "no mail" option. I can now use my Emacs to handle the newsserver for
posting to the lists.

For the record, the cucial factor was this line in my previous post.

|  bash$ cat /usr/share/postgresql/pg_hba.conf

It was pure luck that I noticed this. I just ahppened to find some post with Google,
where the location of the pg_hba.conf file was important enought.

The configuration as you saw, was perfect, but the correct location is:

    /usr/share/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf
                         ======

I filed a request to psql-bugs to add this note to the documentation. It's so
easy to miss.

Jari
