It looks like you would rather use password authentication than the
default IDENT-based auth (it's default in Debian distro of postgres
anyway). IDENT will only let you in when you do *not* use -U, ie,
your postgres user name is the same as your Unix user name. Change
this in pg_hba.conf, and don't forget to SIGHUP or restart the
postmaster afterwards.
