Uh, that seems a pretty strange restriction.  Generally, if you are
actually concerned about security at the SQL-command level, you're
going to have to have some SECURITY DEFINER functions.  You can't
build a Unix system without suid programs, either.

Most people think that remote "ident" is not very secure.
