Have your checked

I would start by creating a role:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/user-manag.html
And revoke all on it. Then add only the permissions it needs and assign the role to the user.

Also, one additional point would be to revoke all from public as mentioned in the following thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-07/msg00148.php Apparently, whatever privileges 'pubic' has are extended to the privileges of the individual users.
