Thank you so much, Tom. In the confusion of trying to solve this problem, I had changed this line:
local all ident sameuser
to this:
local all md5
but, when it didn't work, I changed it back, then forgot about it. Just now, as you suggested, when I changed it back to md5 from ident, it worked fine.
Thank you again for your help. Happy Thanksgiving.

Indeed, because you haven't got it configured to use password
authentication: you have it configured to use IDENT, which looks at the
Unix userid you are running as. That has to match the Postgres userid
you are trying to connect as.

AFAICS there should be no difference ... just a matter of taste.
