I wonder about security in Postgres95 - databases. In my view the only
security is the test if the user is in the database, maybe with UID.
So anybody who knows a user from my database and its UID is able to look via=
=20
TCP at ALL my databases!!!? (freeware in wrong direction?!)=20
Does anybody know something about how to secure single tables ?=20
and/or how to involve a password system ? (I=B4ve heared about Kerberos)
