Bug reference:      8365
Logged by:          David Tonhofer
Email address:      bughunt@gluino.name
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system:   Linux
Description:

Suggestions for documentation:


"http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html"


-----


"Quoting one of the keywords in a database, user, or address field (e.g.,
all or replication) makes the word lose its special character,"


-> Replace "character" by "meaning" for clarity.


-----


"Require the client to supply an MD5-encrypted password for
authentication."


-> Replace "encrypted" by "hashed" (as done in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PASSWORD ).




-> Actually this should be


"Require the client to supply an MD5 hash based on a password for
authentication."


...as the exchange is more complex than just supplying a hash.
