It already exists (I tried it) but it does not suit my needs since it
asks for the password (and I'm already logged in, I don't want to type
a password again).

The real issue is "Why PostgreSQL does not use getpwuid when
getsockopt with SO_PEERCREED returns a numeric UID?" This would give
to PostgreSQL the real and correct user name :-(
