But still the file does not contain any tcpip socket variable. I do see the port variable and it can be uncommented. I tried adding tcpip_socket=True but then postgres fails to start.
I wasn't previously aware of this, but it seems the tcpip_socket directive has been removed in the Postgres 8 series. v8.0.13 is listening on TCP just fine here without it:
Code:
# netstat -an | grep 5432
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
The Postgres man page indicates that listen_addresses now controls whether or not it listens on TCP.

Shouldn't I comment the "ident sameuser" lines? all three of them?
That's entirely up to you. It's your database server, and you get to choose who/what connects to it. They're not necessary for A2B, assuming you have added a valid Postgres user correctly configured for A2B to pg_hba.conf.
