I have a pg7.3.3 on a computer that's available on the internet, and
behind a firewall.

on certain DBs, I want remote access via users who are not unix users
on the computer. Do I keep a table of users and passwords? I only want
them to be able to access information via a web browser(I have apache
running too, will use PHP or Tomcat, not sure. leaning towards PHP). I
looked through the pg_ident.conf docs..didn't seem to help much..

I also want to connect to the DB via openSSL. I have compiled openSSL
into my pg7.3.3, and mod_ssl is running on my apache..

I have the parts..just confused how to use them, any help or directions
would be much appreciated.
Michael
