psql: IDENT authentication failed for user 'js'

[Johann Spies <js@spyker.sun.ac.za>]

On Woody  - postgresql_7.1release-4_i386.de

After upgrading to woody I had the following problem with posgtresql:


As user postgres:
-----------------------------------
postgres@spyker:$ createuser js
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
CREATE USER
postgres@spyker:$ exit
exit
--------------------------------------

Now, as user:
---------------------
$createdb js
psql: IDENT authentication failed for user 'js'
createdb: database creation failed
js-23:21:12-~$
---------------------

Why does this happen? I never had it before.
