Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

EDYS=# select * from pg_user ;
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usetrace | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil
----------+----------+-------------+----------+----------+-----------+----------+----------
postgres | 1 | t | t | t | t | ******** | infinity
(1 row)

EDYS=#

As it can be seen, it does not ask me for a password. How can I make pgsql (or precisely the postmaster) ask for a password??? Tnx in advance..
