Hi there colleagues,

From the Docs (Admin 4.1):

    There is no "fall-through" or "backup": if one record is chosen
    and the authentication fails, the following records are not
    considered.

Are there any plans to loose this restriction? It would be very useful
to use e.g.

local    all        ident        admin
local    sameuser    ident        sameuser
local    all        password    passwd.user


and have backup pseudo-users in admin ident-map, allow connecting users to
personal databases and list exceptions in password file.

Or, is there another way to achieve this?

Also, of course, it would be _very_ useful to tell full connects and
read-only connects (not allowed to create tables/indexes/views/etc...)

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
