The first issue is getting the linux uid to equate to a PG role. That
can be done using 'ident' authentication, though I would recommend only
allowing that on socket-based connections (not with tcp/ip connections).
You could also give 'joeuser' a username and password to connect to PG
with.
In PG, with 8.4, you can use column-level privileges to limit what a
given PG role can do. See the GRANT syntax for 8.4.
Thanks,
