That was exactly what I needed - thanks!
My pg_hba.conf now looks like:
local all pgsql ident
sameuser
local all all ident
webusers
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5
host all all 10.0.5.16 255.255.255.255 md5
This enforces password authing on the appropriate network interfaces.
For local connections, user `pgsql' can connect as that username, but no
other user can connect as `pgsql', and `pgsql' can't connect as any other
other.
Other users can connect locally if and only if they are defined in the
`webusers' map in pg_ident.conf.
That was the biggest part of my intended security overhaul. Now I want to
prevent users from seeing databases that they're not authorized to access,
but since they can't connect to them anyway, I'm not nearly as concerned
about that.
Thanks again to all who helped!
