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.
