Hi all,
What about:
grant select on pg_user to public;
create rule pg_user_hide_pw as on
select to pg_user.passwd
do instead select '********' as passwd;
Then if I do:
select * from pg_user;
usename |usesysid|usecreatedb|usetrace|usesuper|usecatupd|passwd |valuntil
--------+--------+-----------+--------+--------+---------+--------+---------

postgres| 6|t |t |t |t |********|Sat Jan

zeus | 60|t |t |f |t |********|
(2 rows)
Also the \d works for all users !
Only "disadvantage" is that noone can read passwd without first dropping the
rule pg_user_hide_pw,
I consider this a feature though ;-)
Since the userauthentication bypasses the rewrite mechanism the logins,
alter user .. and others do work !
Can all of you try to crack this ?

Wow, I am actually proud of this (so far, and hope it holds what I think it
does)
