Works as expected for me. Typically, when people complain that password
auth is unexpectedly letting them in, it's because the server isn't
actually using the pg_hba.conf setting they think it is (don't forget to
SIGHUP or restart the postmaster after editing that file), or they have
a ~/.pgpass file that's supplying the password for them.
