hi martin, we've recently been having a lot of discussions on the dbconfig-common-devel mailing list, and something that recently came up was the default contents of pg_hba.conf. currently, i believe that postgres defaults to using 'ident sameuser' for all connections. instead of doing so, it would be nice if it had something like the following: local all all ident sameuser host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5 # uncomment this to allow any remote computers to connect using passwords #host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5 so that local socket-based connections could use ident, but remote connections defaulted to using passwords instead of the insecure ident protocol. what do you think? sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages postgresql depends on: ii adduser 3.52 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.4.22 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr1-kerbe 1.2.2-3 ComErr Libraries for Kerberos4 Fro ii libkrb5-17-heimd 0.6.1-1 Libraries for Heimdal Kerberos ii libpam0g 0.76-19 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq3 7.4.2-3 Shared library libpq.so.3 for Post ii libreadline4 4.3-10 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7d-1 SSL shared libraries ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20031014cvs-2 A simple mail user agent pn postgresql-clien Not found. ii python2.2 2.2.3dfsg-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC9X+2ynjLPm522B0RAgcUAJ0XB7w63XwEwCK4QQ4Q3MQBlN+HVgCeIoXm evnb7soaI9WPxpsBieLKmsE= =bou0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
