Why happens this?

Warning: pg_connect() unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL:
IDENT authentication failed for user "bchytrek" in
/var/www/html/physio2/test.php on line 19

The php-statement is :

$conn = pg_connect("dbname=testdb user=bchytrek");

the owner of that testdb is bchytrek and he does not have a password, he
is in the users-list as superuser, an may cerate dbs.

So why does the authentication fail?
