Subject: security in Postgres95

I wonder about security in Postgres95 - databases. In my view the only
security is the test if the user is in the database, maybe with UID.
So anybody who knows a user from my database and its UID is able to look via 
TCP at ALL my databases!!!? (freeware in wrong direction?!) 
Does anybody know something about how to secure single tables ? 
and/or how to involve a password system ? (I´ve heared about Kerberos)
