Hi,
I just noticed that authentication_timeout is ineffective for
replication=true type connections. That's because walsender doesn't
register a SIGINT handler and authentication_timeout relies on having
one.
There's no problem with reading the initial startup packet
(ProcessStartupPacket/BackendInitialize) because we use a separate
handler there. But once that's done, before finishing authentication,
WalSndSignals() will have set SIGINT's handler to SIG_IGN.
Demo python program attached. You'll only see the problem if the
authentication method requires a password/addititional packets.
I think we could fix this by simply mapping SIGINT to die() instead
SIG_IGN.
Greetings,
Andres Freund
