After some playing around, it seems to me that you do need to connect as
some user. Creating a user is not a strenuous process if you're a DBA; if
not, you need to discover a correct username and password. I can't connect
via _any_ method without a username and password ('psql -u db_name' says
'No postgres username specified in startup packet.' if I don't give it a
username). So I'd try this.
