few securiry questions

hi there,I'm migrating from MySQL to PgSQL and
I have few questions on PgSQL securiry:
  1. How can I forbid to some users to create tables
in some databases which they can acccess.
  2. How can I GRANT/REJECT some privileges on all
objects in a database TO/FROM some users, since i
can't type "GRANT ALL ON * TO SOMEUSER;" in PgSQL. Is
there any functional analog?
  3. How can I reject to some users connections to
some databases from any host using password
authentication?
  4. Why this pg_hba.conf does not alow uses from
192.168.200.X to connect to the databases with message
telling that there was no entry for 192.168.200.x in
pg_hba.conf?
# pg_hba.conf

local  all                                   trust
host   all    0.0.0.0          0.0.0.0       reject
host   all    192.168.200.0    255.255.255.0 password

Thanks in advance!

Rumen

You can't. Working on that ...

You can't internally. You can read the list of all tables from the
pg_class system catalog and have your application issue the command GRANT
x ON table1, table2, table3, ... TO y.

You can create a separate password file for the databases and only list
the users you want in that password file. The syntax for this is
`... password filename' in pg_hba.conf. See also the pg_passwd command for
making password files.

Because a mask of 0.0.0.0 matches every host, so the reject kicks in. The
logic here is that

    ({host entry} XOR {actual host}) AND {mask entry}

must be 0 for a record to match.
