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?
