All I am doing is connecting the server with the client code, on the same machine. I don't care what the password is, only that the two agree, on any given box.

How about this: Give every boot, of every box running the code, its own unique password.

At every boot, create a new password in a boot script (read a UUID out of /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid). Give it to Postgres and put it in a config file with reasonable ownership restrictions appropriate to be read by the client code.

Seems pretty simple.

P.S. Also turn off all but loopback access to the server process.
