But this doesn't seem to me to be a reason to reject the idea outright. Let's ask for a proposed patch that covers all the needed documentation changes, and see if it seems clear enough or not. I still think that the presence of -W/--pwfile in initdb's arguments is a pretty clear cue that TRUST auth isn't what the DBA intends to use. Yes, there will be exceptions, but there will be far more cases where the TRUST default is wrong even though no -W was given. So I think we might as well try to do the "right thing" here. I see no good argument against it except for the potential-confusion one; let's see if the proponents can refute that argument by providing clear documentation. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
