I think it might be to fix > this exact issue, but there's no SGML documentation for pg_regress, I'm not volunteering to fix that, but this comment in pg_regress.c is probably adequately illuminating: * Rewrite pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf to use SSPI authentication. Permit * the current OS user to authenticate as the bootstrap superuser and as any * user named in a --create-role option. This script is creating users manually rather than letting the TAP infrastructure do it, which is an antipattern. regards, tom lane
