The client key files go into something under the client user's HOME
directory (I think ~/.pgsql/client.key, but check the manual). This
is entirely unrelated to either PGDATA or the postgres user's home
(neither of which a client program would be able to read, typically).
This stuff is documented in the 8.0 libpq docs.
