Oh, so try it with and without. I can do that, but it seems more of a security problem where you were trying two names instead of one. Do people like that? It is easy to do, except for the fact we have to match pg_hba.conf with a username, though we could do the double-test there too, if that isn't too weird. > > Basically, I am not going to stop working on something when one person > > objects or this will never get done, > > He didn't say to stop working on it.

I will fix them as long as the fixes don't generate new objections, like adding a new column to pg_shadow. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
