Yep. The cool part is that people are already using it (or at least
compiling it).
I am making good progress on the SCM credentials stuff now. It will
work on FreeBSD and BSD/OS and hopefully others. This, with clarified
pg_hba.conf, and the encrypted pg_shadow stuff should make our
authentication more secure in 7.2. I never liked that TRUST option.
Vince, I can't figure out how that pgcrypto API for MD5. I have to
strip out the general stuff, and when I do, do I leave MD5 stuff in
pgcrypto. Confusing.
