For example, I was surprised to see that (at least according to this presentation) Mysql doesn't plug into external authentication. I'm rolling out Kerberos authentication for Postgres, and my only regret is that I didn't do this way earlier. Hard-coding username/password combinations in any sort of serious environment just isn't an acceptable solution, nor is just trusting and hoping. Also, rolling out Kerberos was a lot easier than I expected. Kudos to the postgres team. Brian

This is a very hot topic in the open source database community right now. Sincerely, Joshua D.
