I am able to login from the non-chroot environment. So it is not an issue with pg_hba.conf and not an issue of password expiration. Is there a debug psql option?
OK.
Have you checked the PGPASSWORD environment variable, from where you are trying to login.
I am trying to login from psql and consistently getting a "psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "xyz"" for all users. I am not being prompted for a password at all. I faced a similar issue sometime ago because there was a .pgpass file and it had wrong entries. This time there is no .pgpass file.
Any clues? How do I trouble-shoot?
Other possibly relevant info - this is a chrooted environment. I upgraded the OS recently in this env and faced some issues with /dev/null /proc etc not being present and so on. Some issues there?
The database itself is running in the same server in the non-chroot environment. I am also running a python application which uses psycopg2 and that is working fine.

Could it be a problem with your pg_hba.conf? Perhaps password authentication is not enabled there?
