I'm trying to get my project working under mod_python but I'm getting
the error:

OperationalError: FATAL:  IDENT authentication failed for user "alice"

when attempting to access http://localhost/mysite/

This is a postgresql error when trying to access the database as
someone without privileges.

In myproject.settings my db username is 'alice' and the password is ''
- I never specified a password at db creation.

Everything works dandy under the django-admin server under my linux
username 'alice'

The problem is apache is running under a user called 'www-data' and
'www-data' doesn't have access to the database when trying to connect
as 'alice' with password ''

Or so I think. maybe, perhaps...

How can I fix this? I can't quite pin the solution down.
