Jon,

I wasn't able to locate a pgpass file anywhere on my system. Is it possible that there isn't one? Again, thanks for bearing with my limited knowledge of Linux.

1. I attached the contents of the pg_hba.conf file to this post.

2. The output of the command netstat -an | grep 5432:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 ::1:5432 :::* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 119567 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432


Thanks for your patience.
