It should ... but that depends very much how you set up hba.conf
If you marke a certain host (such as yourself) trusted, then clearly
it won't behave the same way as other untrusted hosts.

I find the problem of managing user permissions for gnucash users
when they are accessing a remote sql database somewhat scary.
To make this work right will require sql db admins who are knowledgable ...
