Looking closer, it appears to me that lsmbdata is normally used 
internally as a template and with OpenBSD is first installed externally 
into PSQL and then used from there as a template.

Ok. I saw some references to "ident sameuser" in Ubuntu, now I 
understand exactly what that means and implies.
OpenBSD defaults to "md5", which I understand clearly.

I would be curious which method, (or perhaps some other method), if 
any,  users would prefer?
Do any of the other OS's default to a third method?


I'll re-install a few times and write up a guide.
