Actually, I may have to take that back. We already have support for multiple maps in the ident file, I'm not really sure anymore of the case where this wouldn't be enough :-) That said, I still think we want to parse pg_hba in the postmaster, because it allows us to not load known broken files, and show errors when you actually change the file etc. ;-) I did code up a POC patch for it, and it's not particularly hard to do. Mostly it's just moving the codepath from the backend to the postmaster. I'll clean it up a but and post it, just so ppl can see what it looks like... //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
