why not create one account to use the db and use table based authentication? Same for email?

It requires people to login to gain access. Everyone who needs to login to that database program has a system user account in that machine. (since it's also the email server) What is the best way to authenticate using the system users/passwd? (/etc/shadow ?) I hate to create a a new set of username/password in postgres for each person just to be able to login to this program. And it would really help a lot because they don't have to remember two passwords. Any help will be appreciated.
