changedbowner.sh ends with "Ident authentication failed for user postgres"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

During a RHEV upgrade, the rhev-setup script checks ownership of tables, and suggests running a script to set these to be owned by user engine, but running the script fails with:

psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"

This script does not run correctly with default pg_hba.conf
