8a02339e9ba3 sounds like an argument good enough to prove there is no demand in the field for being able to support options through initdb --auth, and this does not concern only pam. If somebody is interested in that, that could always be done later. My take is that this would be simpler if implemented through a separate option, leaving the checks between the options and the auth method up to the postmaster when loading pg_hba.conf at startup. Hence, no objections to clean up that now. Thanks for asking. -- Michael
