Bug reference: 8114
Logged by: Kenneth Robinette
Email address: support(at)securenetterm(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.0
Operating system: Ubuntu 12.04.2
Description:

I am having the same problem described in:
5(dot)1(dot)0(dot)14(dot)2(dot)20020213180151(dot)04bd2250(at)pop(dot)ntlworld(dot)com

The cgi-script I am using works on a CentOS 6.4 system using PostgreSQL
version 8.4 and several older centos/redhat systems. The pg_hba.conf and
postgresql.conf are setup the same on all systems.

When trying to connect On the Ubuntu 12.04.2 system, the database connect is
aborted. The following messages are in the postgresql-9.1-main.log. The
real username has been replaced by xxxxxxxx:

2013-04-24 16:23:18 CDT LOG: provided user name (xxxxxxxx) and
authenticated user name (www-data) do not match
2013-04-24 16:23:18 CDT FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user
"xxxxxxxx"
