Does anyone know who the Postgres security patcher mentioned in this article
is:

Is it that guy who found all the buffer overflows?

Don't know. Just asked them through their online form.

Let's hope they get back to us.

Hi Chris,

Just received this from them. Look like he was trying to claim stuff
that wasn't true.

:-/

Thanks for pointing this out Chris. :)

Dear Clift,

Justin Clift PostgreSQL Global Development Group demande des informations
son adresse :

Son e-mail : justin@postgresql.org
Son t�l�phone : +61.393631313
Son message : Hi,

Just noticed your website mentioning that "Michael Vergoz" is well known

to created security patches for PostgreSQL:

http://kernel.sysdoor.com/eng/

Can you please point us in their direction, as we don't know him by name.

Right, it's true that i never make "_security_ patches" for
PostGreSQL...

As a side thought, would you please be able to correct the spelling of

PostgreSQL on the same page. Presently it's spelt "PostGreSQL", which
is
incorrect.

Better way, i'v remove postgresql name in the site, as i think you want.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

FWIW, a search on Google gives some hits for the name on the lists this
year.

First impressions are that it's not Sir Mondred (or whatever the spelling was).

Well, they still have PostGreSQL still on their front page, which is
dynamic, as it lists new instrusion attempts every time you refresh it.
