I tested on Solaris AMD64 and Sparc v240 (64bit) and it works for me. Do you use 32bit or 64bit version of postgreSQL and what you have in .pgpass?

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.
