I am puzzled about this. The strace output below is from CVS tip and
shows the postmaster and children during a single (local) connection
when the auth method is md5. What we see is 2 calls to clone() (that's
Linux for fork(), more or less). When the auth method is set to trust
or ident, there is only one clone(), which is what I expected.
Have I missed something, or is there a bug here? Do I need to get the
debugger out?
Confusion fixed (thanks, Tom). psql (via libpq) tries twice, if not
given a password to begin with (via .pgpass or psql's -W).
Ugly but at least not incomprehensible.
