I've been reading about pg_hba.conf, and just want to check that I
understand...
Is it possible to do something so that if I log on to my Linux box I can get
into the database without a password ("psql testdb"), but if I'm logged on
to linux as someone else, and try "psql testdb postgres", a password must be
supplied.  I couldn't see a way of doing this?
Thanks
Tamsin
