Idon't feel like this patch is quite there yet, either. _connectDB has similar logic in it which might be hit in case
e.g.a a user's HBA is changed from a non-password-requiring method to a password-requiring one after the one or more
connectionshas been initiated. That one needs changing as well.<p dir="ltr">I wasn't aware of that case. Should be an

><br/> > What do you think?<br /><br /> I don't understand why this logic is preferable. Is your concern that
AH->savedPasswordmay contain a password even when none is needed? Or is the change simply meant to give the reader a
bettersense of what is actually going on?<p dir="ltr">-CS<br />
