Superuser without pg_hba could drop database from client at pgAdminIII Object browser by left click & Delete/Drop.
User has superuser rights, but no pg_hba connection entry for the host. There are warnings on left click, twice: An error has occured: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.17.0.8", user "tempuser", database "testdatabase", SSL on FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "172.17.0.8", user "tempuser", database "testdatabase", SSL off Then context menu appear, click Delete/Drop, Yes on confirmation. The database is gone. pgAdminIII at client: Windows XP pgAdminIII 1.10.3 (from PostgreSQL 8.4 windows package) PostgreSQL 8.4 server: Ubuntu 10.04 I think it is very dangerous. Regards, Mudy
