Maybe pg_hba.conf has changed.

No, not recommended, but not forbidden either.  We didn't use
"ident" but "password" in pg_hba.conf.  This way, you are not bound
to user accounts of the underlying operating system.

But possibly we switch to "ident" for local connections
(i.e. command line) and "password" for TCP/IP connections.  The
reason is that passwords make command line scripting harder.

Tschö,
Torsten.
