[Pgpool-general] problem connecting through pgpool

[Tatsuo Ishii]

My guess is, you have trust authentication(i.e. no password) for
backend 0, while backend 1 uses md5 or some other password auth
methods. You need to use same auth method for all DBs and the auth
method must be one of trust, clear text password and pam.
