You're right (dumb me):

2011-02-11 12:12:50 CET LOG:  could not get peer credentials:
Interrupted system call
2011-02-11 12:12:50 CET FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user

Nothing changes.

Simply asks for password:

postgres@netmon:~$ egrep -v "^(#|$)" /etc/inetd.conf
ident           stream  tcp     nowait  identd /usr/sbin/ident2 ident2 -i -n

Log says:
2011-02-11 12:27:46 CET LOG:  could not receive data from client:
Connection reset by peer

It's the default one:

root@netmon:~# egrep -v "^(#|$)" /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf
local   all         postgres                          ident
local   all         all                               ident
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5
host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

Not skilled enough on this to give my opinion, sorry :-\
