  one other thing about this:

  the pg_hba.conf shipped with 7.4.1 PGDG RPMs for RHEL 3 has:

  # CAUTION: The default configuration allows any local user to connect
  # using any PostgreSQL user name, including the superuser, over either
  # Unix-domain sockets or TCP/IP.  If you are on a multiple-user
  # machine, the default configuration is probably too liberal for you.
  # Change it to use something other than "trust" authentication.

  but the only active line is:

  local  all    all             ident   sameuser

  which seems not quit what was said above, to me.
