1. Does identd run on your system?
2. Is the user you pass to the connection the same as the one that
actually runs the program? This is important, because you asked
Postgres to check by Ident that the user who tries to connect is
indeed who he says he is (hence "sameuser").
Since you didn't show the pg_hba.conf line that pertains to
localhost (127.0.0.1), I assume that it uses 'trust'. This would
explain the differences in behaviour.
BTW, if you use ident, you may as well pass an empty password. It is not
checked.
