Not once krb5 is removed. Assuming the older server version used krb5 auth. I want to remove it from both libpq and the server. (8.3 libpq would of course work with older versions, since it's only deprecated at that point) I guess a compromise would be to remove it from the server in 8.4 and libpq in 8.5 or so, if people think that it's a problem. But I think we definitly want to get it out of libpq as well eventually. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
