Please consider, I do not know the exact demands for you application
or anything, but the following seems quite easier to maintain in my
eyes:

You wrote you needed a C-program, what's wrong with making it all
webbased. Then your webserver could have two NICs, with the database
access on the internal one.
It also has the advantage, that use need only 1 account in the
database, the rest is just business logic.

For the webbased interfaces, unless you think about using a raw
interface like PhpPgAdmin (and write it yourself), it should be safe.
Ie. no need to worry about people seeing too much (as only the
webserver, with is reasonably trustworthy, access the data - using
scripts you control)
