Thanks Ray,

You were sooooo close! The command that works is this:

psql -U super -h localhost super

That's because the super database is owned by the super user, in this 
particular case. Interestingly enough, even though I've set my port to be 5433 
instead of 5432, it wasn't necessary for me to add -p 5433.

Your method has the big benefit of being able to supervise from a Postgres 
Superuser who doesn't have a Linux account (super, in this case). Thanks for 
the info!
