I've newly transitioned from Windoze to Debian Linux. And, of course,
I'm installing things left and right.

I had pgsql up and running, then I had to do a lot of tearing out and
reinstalling other stuff. Now, when I try to connect to psql I get:

psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "superbiskit"

OK, so how do I convince the postmaster that I am myself? Or, how do I
disarm this form of authentication in favor of plain old password?

Thanks,
