There is something wrong with your test procedure. For example,
in test05 the log message clearly shows that peer authentication
failed, although you claimed to be testing ident authentication.
You haven't given enough detail to determine why that happened;
perhaps failure to do "pg_ctl reload" after changing config files?

One point worth noting is that ident auth only works on TCP
connections, not connections via a Unix socket.
