Package: postgresql Version: 7.5.21 Severity: normal Some packages require some users to be able to access some databases under the user name "postgres" with IDENT auth. This is done by adding a line
local <dbname> postgres IDENT postgres-alikes to pg_hba.conf and lines like postgres-alikes postgres postgres postgres-alikes <user> postgres to pg_ident.conf. The first line above in pg_ident.conf ensures that real postgres can still access the database, too, because PG authentication does not "fall through" but rather stops at the first matching pg_hba.conf entry. So configured pg_ctlcluster says WARNING: You removed the first pg_hba.conf entry that granted local passwordless access to the database superuser. Disabling startup checks. The first sentence is true, of course, while the conclusion does not follow. I suggest pg_ctlcluster *try* doing a passwordless access to the database before claiming it has to disable the checks. In the above scenario it would indeed still work. This isn't really a showstopper but it would improve robustness.
