In the end, you know this much better than me, but thanks for listening to me and giving considered comments. Personally I still think the UI is confusing (double-entry of existing password, mixing service account and db superuser into single password) but alternatives may not be any less confusing. In fact, I tried to mock up a few and found that they all required WAY too much knowledge of the difference between the service and db accounts, etc, to be viable, or boiled down to the current one with more babble. Unless service account and db user account are separated (which only makes sense if the service account password management can be made transparent in some way, which it seems it can't really) then the current way is pretty good once you really dig down and compare it to the alternatives. Once again, thanks for taking the time to go through it. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing: http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
