Yes and no.
If I'm logged into Linux as user 'dspace' (which is also the name of the 
postgres user and database) then
'psql -U dspace' drops me in without a password. If I force a password with 
'psql -U dspace -W' I can get
in just fine even with an incorrect password! But if I try from another 
Linux login the connection fails with:
    psql: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "dspace"

.The tail end of the pg_hba.conf file looks about like this:
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# Tighten security per instructions in DSpace Manual
host    dspace         dspace     127.0.0.1  255.255.255.255    md5
#host    dspace         dspace     127.0.0.1  255.255.255.255    peer

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     peer
#local   all             all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:

# IPv6 local connections:
