I do not use Centos so I am not sure where the logs go. You might get a
hint by logging in using psql and doing:
show log_directory ;

That is failing because peer authentication is set up for connecting via
local(per pg_hba.conf below), where local is a socket connection. For
more information see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PEER
Retry the above with -h localhost or -h 127.0.0.1

That is normal. If you could not login you would see something like;
test=# \du test_role
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------+--------------+-----------
test_role | Cannot login | {}
FYI, {} is for role membership, so something like:
test=# \du aklaver
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------+------------+---------------------------------
aklaver | | {app_admin,enhanced,production}

Is that all?
In particular is that the full line for the second line above?
Are there any IPv6 address?

Is there a chance there is more then one instance of Postgres running on
this machine?
