Hi Tom, thanks for replying!

You mean there's no way to do this in pg_hba.conf? Geez, incredible...

Am I looking the wrong way here? How is it for everyone that hasn't got
TCP/IP PostgreSQL connections and passwords enabled? Can every user in those
systems connect to every database as any PostgreSQL user? I mean, this is
what the 'trust' AUTHTYPE does! Isn't this a bad thing?
