+ For Unix-domain socket connections, if this parameter is
+ set, the client checks at the beginning of the connection
+ that the server process runs under the specified user name,
+ otherwise the connection is aborted with an error. This
+ parameter can be used to achieve the kind of server
+ authentication that SSL certificates achieve on TCP/IP
+ connections. (Note that if the Unix-domain socket is
+ in <filename>/tmp</filename> or another publically writable
+ location, any user could start a server there. Use this
+ parameter to ensure that you are connected to a server run
+ by a trusted user,
+ e.g., <literal>requirepeer=postgres</literal>.) This
+ option is only supported on some platforms, currently
+ Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris.
