You quoted two good arguments why it's insecure in your original message, neither of which your proposed GUC does anything to protect against; and you also admitted that there might be other leakage paths we haven't thought of. That seems to me to be more than sufficient reason to not encourage people to go back to passing unencrypted passwords around. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
