For local users, is there anyway to have users only be able to connect
to the postmaster as the name associated with their current uid?

I would like to not require db passwords on the for psql where data
entry is also performed but I with full blown trust, it is too easy to
circumvent uid controls with psql -U

Thanks,
Chris
