Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.7-6sarge1
Severity: normal
46: if ($method eq "ident" or $method = "pam") {
The = should be eq.
As it stands, not only does this test always succeed (so the
test later in the script which verifies that the parameter is
only set in the ident or pam always determines that there's no
problem, even if there is one), but the $method variable, which
is used in generating the new pg_hba.conf file, has been changed,
meaning that configurations which worked correctly, and would
continue to work correctly if the authentication method was
unchanged, now cease working and the postinst itself ends up
having problems in some situations.
Further, the test for "excess" parameters fails to deal with the
optional extra parameter for the password, md5 (and perhaps crypt?)
methods. So, not only should = be replaced with eq, but
additional tests for password, md5 and, perhaps, crypt should be
added.
