I am new at the Postgres DBA - Admin stuff.   So when asked to create a read only profile for our database in Postgres 8.4 I did the following:
*         create role RO_User password 'xxxxxxxxxxx' NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN;
*         select 'grant select on ' || tablename || ' to \"RO_User\"; 'from pg_tables where schemaname = 'public';
Uh, that only printed the GRANT commands you needed, it didn't execute
them.

You'll need to grant usage on the schema to your RO_User role as well.

GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO RO_User;
 
for each database you'll allow him to connect to.
