What does ~postgres/.pgpass and pg_hba.conf look like?

Does root also have a .pgpass file? Otherwise this looks like user postgres is
configured with trust authentication (at least on database postgres) if there's
no password prompt for user postgres.

Does it accept any password? That would be the case for trust authentication.

Okay, no trust authentication for user postgres on database ADT_DEM_DB. My
guess is an error in ~postgres/.pgpass so that libpq does not find a matching
entry for the connection.
