right, it's a first-to-match basis.  i think i've just modified the
postgres stuff to default to something that will work with the default
postgres install.  when a password is supplied, it bypasses the the ident
stuff by talking via tcp/ip to localhost instead of using a socket,
which would result in an ident check.  if no password is supplied,
it defaults to the ident based method and su's to the user if it exists.
