If i'm understanding you correctly (and I'm a newbie) you need to edit the
/data/pg_hba.conf file this is where you can set up your permissions to not
trust local connections.. (by default it is set up to trust local)

+Subject: [NOVICE] requiring a password to connect
+
+
+Hi all,
+
+ I am using postgresql in conjunction with php. The
+following code works to
+establish a database connection:
+
+$db = pgConnect("dbname=mydb user=myuser");
+
+
+ I would prefer it if this would fail to connect. Is there
+a command line
+switch I can use to start the postmaster that will require a password to be
+passed in the connection string? Or do I need to recompile postgresql with
+a particular option to achieve the desired behavior? I have
+experienced the
+above on 6.5.3, 7.0.2 and 7.1.2.
+
+ Thank you very much for your time,
+ ~c
