if you are root, use

frankly, I've never used the pg_ident file, it just seems like it would add
more confusion to things. But, it appears to use it you need a

I suspect you are expecting that the map will cause root to be
logged in as postgres without asking for that. It won't.
What it will do is allow psql -U postgres and similar to work.

Obviously I need to tell postgres to trust the user root when
connected locally as postgres.
How do I do that?
