You mean, other than the fact that kill(2) can't transmit such a key? But actually I don't see what you hope to gain from such a change, even if it can be made to work. Anyone who can do kill(SIGINT) can do kill(SIGKILL), say --- so you have to be able to trust the signal sender. What's the point of not trusting it to verify the client identity? 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
