Nope. This is the result if I run as root but not as the normal user. I
just su'ed to the nobody user and he's able to see the password as well.

nobody doesn't see a

PGSQL using cached connection for localhost/maildb/exim/exim

but he sees

PGSQL new connection: host=localhost port=0 database=maildb user=exim password=exim


Feel free to ask for any other information you would need to track the
problem down.
