  2. Make sure the following lines exist in the file. The following lines are from a DataSync server. Some lines may differ if this is not a DataSync server.

    local all postgres ident sameuser
    host all postgres 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
    host all postgres ::1/128 ident sameuser
    local   datasync         all                       md5
    host    datasync         all       127.0.0.1/32    md5
    host    datasync         all       ::1/128         md5
    local   postgres         datasync_user                    md5
    host    postgres         datasync_user    127.0.0.1/32    md5
    host    postgres         datasync_user    ::1/128         md5
    local   mobility    all                               md5
    host    mobility    all         127.0.0.1/32          md5
    host    mobility    all         ::1/128               md5

    rcpostgresql start should not give any error message this time.
