Well, unless you create a user with a password and use that password to log in, you're not performing much of a test. Getting the hba entry in there seems to me to be about the least of the worries for making a usable test case. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I don't see how connecting to an obscure unix socket with a password is more "external" than connecting to the same obscure linux socket without a password. Cheers, Jeff

External connections to the test DB seem like exactly what you *don't* want, for reproducibility's sake. Also, this seems like it's overlapping with the use case for making an installation and using make installcheck. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
[HACKERS] "make check" and pg_hba.conf
Is there a way to get "make check" to install a custom pg_hba.conf for its temporary installation? Something like pre-prending the line: local all password_user md5 To the default pg_hba.conf? Thanks, Jeff
