The debconf > questions should be correct nowadays. Hmm well I'm still using the dbconfig version from jessie-backports, so perhaps this is obsolete in later versions?
I find this basically when do the same as where I sent you the debug log for #830888. When dbconfig asks me for the auth method for the user and for the database admin I could choose between ident and something else (forgot which one, perhaps md5?). > If I understand correctly from the response I got half a year ago > from > the PostgreSQL maintainer, it doesn't matter what it is called. The > behavior hasn't changed AFAIK. Yes that's true... as I wrote earlier, peer = ident in the case of Unix sockets. I just think using "peer" could cause less (possible) confusion when the user is asked, as "peer" is rather the "canonical" name for the "match system-user-name-auth-method", while ident is rather meant for use ident*d*. So this is mostly a cosmetic issue =) Cheers, Chris
