I get this at every startup but I can't find anything that does not work.

I did change the postgresql.conf file for authentication of local postgres
access from 'sameuser ident' to 'md5'. Is this something I can effectively
ignore? (If so, why FATAL?) or is there something I can do to fix it (without
going to sameuser ident)?
