Encrypting
I've looked thru the docs and haven't found anything on data encryption.
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but can someone tell me where I
can
get hold of a method of encrypting the data in a field (i.e. a password
field)?
If there's something already generated, I would apppreciate not
having to build my own.

You might want to look at contrib/pgcrypto

There is something in the contrib directory. For details on how I put
that into my database, see http://www.freebsddiary.org/postgresql-7.2.php
and look for the section titled "The Crypto". Also included is how I
added "Soundex/Fuzzy matching", also in the contrib section.
[yes, it's FreeBSD-centric, but the basic instructions should get you
going under any other OS]
