Additional, create a text-column with default current_user for the
inserts. Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ psql -U kretschmer test
...

test=> create table usertab (id serial, username text default current_user);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "usertab_id_seq" for serial 
column "usertab.id"
CREATE TABLE
test=*> insert into usertab values(default, default);
INSERT 0 1
test=*> select * from usertab;
 id |  username
----+------------
  1 | kretschmer
(1 row)
