Package: postgresql-8.0
Version: 8.0.4-1
Severity: normal

initdb warns that you should use -A next time. Fine. Then you do
man initdb: it says for -A: trust is the default, but you should use
some other mechanism.

However, it is nowhere documented which other mechanisms can you
choose, especially what on the earth should you write for using pg_hba.conf??

I'v tried hba, pg_hba, hostbased, host with no success.

Hi Kovacs!

Please do not use initdb directly unless you have a special reason to
do so; there is a reason why it is not in the $PATH. Please use
pg_createcluster, which picks sensible defaults.

It's summarized in the pg_hba.conf help [1] and covered in great
detail in the section "authentication methods" [2] in the docs.

Have a nice day,

Martin
