This warning was added because of security considerations AFAIR. If the intent is to make initdb super-quiet, we still have to have security in mind. So if you want it to not say anything by default, instead of throwing a warning it should throw an error and refuse to continue; unless a default password is specified or a --silently-enable-trust-auth switch is passed, in either of which cases it can silently continue. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/DXLWNGRJD34J "I can't go to a restaurant and order food because I keep looking at the fonts on the menu.
