Dear hackers,

I'm still developing some advisor views to give advices about tables,
database settings and so in postgresql.

I'm thinking of allowing advices about incoherent or dangerous "host base
authentification" configurations. I would like to access pg_hba.conf
from within the database. However, I could not find any pg_catalog that
would fit my needs.

- am I missing something? I'm afraid not, but "yes" would be good news;-)

- is it a design principle that this information is not available, or just a lack of time and/or need up to know? would
itmake sense to add such a view?
 

Thanks in advance,
