Hi,

following the steps on " Installing Zabbix 1.8 on Debian 5.0.3 from Source " on Step 3 after running the

psql
> create user zabbix createdb password 'secretpassword';
> \quit

when i try to the next step as user "zabbix " i get the following error:

zabbix@debian:~$ echo "create database zabbix"|psql template1
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "zabbix"

Gente, mi ingles no es muy bueno pero ahi va...
Espero ayudarte....

Try this again, but don't forget the ";"
look at this:

loggin as postgres
su - postgres

Enter to psql
psql

Type this line:
create user zabbix createdb password 'secretpassword';
NOTE: DON'T FORGET THE ";"

This is all!
Enjoy!!
