Just to explain: identd sameuser authentication tells PostgreSQL to let the matching request authenticate only with the same username as they are currently logged into the system with. This is not save over a network.
If you want to do as you say, make sure your entry is at the *top* of the file. However we do not recomment using "trust" authentication for anything other than recovery and/or testing purposes. The safety of your data is important. It is better to require a password and use md5 authentication instead.
