you will want to modify your pg_hba.conf file, in the data directory, to
have a line that
requires anyone connecting from the internet to require a password. Part
of this requires a password file which can be created with pg_passwd
filename.
For example:
add a line to pg_hba.conf similar to this:
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password passwd
then in the data directory run the following command:
pg_passwd passwd
you can test this change out by connecting using:
psql -h hostname -U username dbname
Hope this helps.
