title: Postgresql does not prompt for password
body: <p>I have a postgresql 8.3 db set up on linux box, together with a user postgres
  The pg_hba.conf reads </p>
  
  <pre><code>local   all         postgres                          ident sameuser
  local   all         all                               md5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so no trusted connections from local machine.</p>
  
  <p>Yet when connecting via commandline with psql, no password is asked and all users get all access to all databases.</p>
  
  <p>I'm completely lost here..</p>
