Hello.
I have a postgresql 7.4.5 running.
On the server i have a few databases, all owned and administered by
different users.
The users sometimes change access-rules to their databases, in
particular they change access rules based on IP-addresses, which i have
to do for them manually in pg_hba.conf.

is there some way to avoid the pg_hba.conf-file?
optimally i would like the access rights to be stored with the user
and/or the database and tables. is this possible?
allowing users to change them selfs.

if not in 7.4.5, is it planned for 7.5 or 8.0?
