Hello everybody!!

I'm trying in SUSE to connect to a postgres db and this is the error:

    Ident Authentification failed for user <<root>>

I'm already created the user with createuser root, but the error
persist, I would aprecciate some help, thanks in advanced 
    
...or just cheat and get in as the postgres root user:
    psql -U postgres
Which on SUSE has no password.
