Well, dropping the connection with no message (except in the postmaster
log, which is equivalent to /dev/null for way too many people) isn't
my idea of how to complain "loudly".  It just makes the software look
broken.

I'm not sure if we can issue a notice that will be seen on the client
side at this point in the startup cycle.  I seem to recall the protocol
document advising against sending NOTICEs during the authentication
cycle.  So the postmaster-log message may be the best we can do ...
but I don't think we should drop the connection.

                        regards, tom lane
