[Bucardo-general] Installer question

[Alex Balashov]

Tim,

I think I ran into this as well when installing.  In my case, the 
issue stems from the fact that from the point of the Postgres 
authentication mechanism, connecting to 127.0.0.1 is not the same as 
connecting to "localhost."  Try change your connection settings to 
have a host of 127.0.0.1.

Cheers,

-- Alex
