Ident authentication over local sockets

I have installed postgres on a unix server (Solaris 8) and trying to configure the system so that one login to the operating system can be used for multiple logins to postgres. I would also like to use md5 encyption for this if possible have tried editing the pg_hba.conf file to use an indent, and have added the indent to the pg_indent.conf file. I feel I must be doing some this wrong as I can’t get it to work. Please help....!!!!!

Hereis my code:
pg_hba.conf
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. local all all ident map1
pg_ident.conf
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. map1 user bob
error message
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "bob"
