either create a postgres user named 'root' and give it superuser privileges,

In order to do that I need to connect to the database with my script
which is running under the root account.


if you are root, use

   su -c "psql -f /path/to/script.sql" postgres




or switch to a different method of authentication for LOCAL users

I am confused. I presumed the proper way to do this was the pg_ident
file. Is this not possible with the pg_ident file?


authenication type is controlled via the pg_hba.conf file.

frankly, I've never used the pg_ident file, it just seems like it would add more confusion to things. But, it appears to use it you need a map=/mapname/ primitive in your pg_hba.conf
