to get to the psql interface we execute:

psql dbname -U user

is it possible to disable the -U option such that a user cannot invoke the
privileges of a database superuser such as postgres?

tried looking up pg_hba.conf regarding 'password' authentication, the man
pages and the archives but didn't get too lucky.

thanks in advance.
