Is there any way to prevent superuser to acces the database ?
I mean something like "GRANT / REVOKE CONNECT" MECHANISM
 
I have no idea how to prevent root from access data in one of this ways :
    root @ linux:~#su - postgres
    postgres @ linux:/usr/local/pgsql/bin$pg_dump ....
or
    edit pg_hba.conf
        # Allow any user on the local system to connect to any
        # database under any username, but only via an IP connection:
        host         all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255    trust     
        # The same, over Unix-socket connections:
        local        all                                          trust
or my nightmare a cygwin on Win 98 everybody can can access everything :-((((
