Oh? I read in hba.c

if (getsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED, &peercred, &so_len) != 0 ||
so_len != sizeof(peercred))
{
/* We didn't get a valid credentials struct. */
ereport(LOG,
(errcode_for_socket_access(),
errmsg("could not get peer credentials: %m")));
return false;
}

pass = getpwuid(peercred.uid);

so it sure looks like we *are* using getpwuid.
