Hi,
 
I'm new to Postgres so if this covered in the DOCs or FAQ, please point me there.
 
We're running Postgres on a server with 10 workstations (academic computing lab (RH 8.0, PostgreSQL 7.3.2) ).  My question is how do I prevent users from accessing everyone else's databases.  I've read that pg_hba.conf allows all local users "trust" authentication and cannot seem to get md5 or password to work as the authentication method.  Obviously allowing students global access is not a good thing.
 
Also, how can I have each user have an individual database area rather than all co-located in /usr/share/data.....
 
tia, direct e-mail is preferred
 
Bob
