I presume so, but what concerns me is that I don't see a way that either of them could be unproblematic from a security standpoint, and therefore they seem like attractive nuisances rather than actually valuable features to me. That said, I don't want to get sidetracked into a big argument about potentially removing them; I'm content to document the problem for now. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
