Thread: default pg_hba.conf tabulation
When editing pg_hba.conf, I often instinctively try to use tabs, only to be slightly annoyed because that barely doesn't work out relative to the default entries, because those are aligned at column 0, 8, 20, 32, 54: # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust Would it be OK to alter that to something like 0, 8, 24, 40, 56: # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust ?

Can we also change the "USER" column heading to "ROLE"? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

Does pg_hba.conf actually control any roles other than ones with login? If not, USER is clearer, at least to me.
