I spent some thought on that. You'd need to wait until the user is authenticated before you can determine if he/she is a superuser and may connect (otherwise I think it would be a security leak that enables any attacker to find out whether a given user is a superuser without knowing the password). By that time the server process is already forked. I couldn't see a way to check the postmaster state at that point, so I decided not to try and keep it simple. If you have any ideas how I could do such a check reasonably, I'd be happy to try it, because basically I think it would be the right thing.
