Well this is my first post to this list, so be gentle ;-).  I have
written a small utility I use and wanted to get it out and better
tested :-)

With it you should be able to do most group amin, without going into psql.
It has the following syntax:

usage: pg_group options -- dB group [user ...] || [table ...]
where options is one of:
  -c create group
  -d delete group
  -a add user(s) to group
  -r remove user(s) to group
  +g give group access to tables
  -g revoke group access to tables
  -p privlages to grant/revoke. This is only used with the +g and -g
     options.
  -- end of switches.

  examples:
  pg_group -c -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr nobody tux
  pg_group -a -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr webuser
  pg_group -d -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr
  pg_group -r -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr nobody
  pg_group +g -p "insert,select" -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr gstbook
  pg_group -g -p "insert" -- guestbook grp_gstbook_usr gstbook

you can get it from: http://www.lowcountry.com/~jscottb/pg_group.tar.gz.
