It seems to me that auth on the local interface(?) is broken somehow on
sparc64.
[data/pg_hba.conf]
local postgres,template1 all trust
local postgres,template1 all md5
host postgres,template1 all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host postgres,template1 all ::/0 md5
[--]
Well, what I really want to do is to remove the trust line from config.
But that way i need a .pgpass file so the server can start/control
itself without asking me for password. And if i want .pgpass file i need
some auth.

It fails for any user and any password.
