This assumes that usernames on the remote site are equivalent to those locally. Which is helpful for the sort of local-loop scenarios we've been thinking about, but is hardly watertight even then (consider multiple postmasters on one machine). For remote connections it seems counterproductive; you might as well say "you must be superuser" and keep it simple. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
