Subject: IDENT authentication problem

Message-ID: <1030483620.2046.4.camel@Monet> (raw)
This is what I did:
1: I reinstalled postgresql RPMs from scratch (I removed all the logs,
data files, backup files)
2: su root
3: su postgres
4: psql template1
And here I got the error message:
psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "foobar"
User "foobar" was an old user I created for the database *before* I
wiped out everything and reinstalled the RPMs. It is already gone from
my /etc/password. (since I was using IDENT)
What could have gone wrong? I must have left the trace of user foobar
somewhere in my system but I couldn't find it.
Thanks
