Package: postgresql-8.1
Version: 8.1.8-1
Severity: normal

According to this page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html

"A hostname of localhost matches both host (TCP) and local (Unix domain
socket) connections coming from the local machine."

However that does not work for me. I get prompted for a password. I
have to put '*' in the hostname section to allow passwordless local
unix socket connections.

eg:

Works:         *:*:david:david:moo
Does not work: localhost:*:david:david:moo
