Did you create the webuser local account on the server after it was rebuilt? Check out: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-ID ENT Assuming you are trying to use sameuser. Also, it might be worth checking that your ident service is running and is reachable. If you have SELinux running it will complicate matters further.
