Hi, pg_hba.conf accepts some keywords like 'all', 'sameuser' and so on. Likewise, I'd like to support the same keywords for .pgpass file. Thought?
In Streaming Replication, new keyword 'replication' has been introduced into pg_hba.conf to authenticate the standby server. If my proposal will have been accepted, I'll also add the 'replication' keyword into .pgpass file. This keyword is required to specify the password which the standby uses since the connection for replication doesn't correspond to the specific database.
