Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.47+nmu1
Severity: normal

I've experienced this with the tt-rss package but I don't think it's
package-specific.

First, dbconfig-common tells that connecting via the UNIX socket is the best
way at least performance-wise.  Second, it tells that using the ident
authentication is not only the best way but also recommended with default
PostgreSQL settings. 

The default PostgreSQL 9.1 Debian settings allow only 'peer' on the local UNIX
socket, so the password authentication simply won't work with the UNIX socket.
And 'ident'/'peer' requires matching between the DB user name (the default for
which is chosen by dbconfig-common and changing that default is usually wrong)
and the system user name (which usually cannot be changed, and when it can the
administrator must do that manually, including the user creation).

This all means that without reconfiguring the DB server the only usable setting
is TCP/IP+'password' even for the local server, despite all dbconfig-common
suggestions.
