Hi Emil, can you please detail what you exactly do in the two different cases? Something like: "I'm user emil in a shell, I launch psql <some options> and here is the output. I run pgadmin3 and select these fields in the connection window and it dramatically fails with the message above". The "IDENT authentication failed" error message is sent by the PostgreSQL backend (pgadmin3 is built on top of libpq) and is generally due to misconfiguration between PostgreSQL and the options used in pgAdmin III.
