[GENERAL] database access authentication: crypted passwords
Hi!
For the first question, I remember hackers had decided not to implement
it - it is more important to send crypted passwords over the wires, right?

Subject: [GENERAL] database access authentication: crypted passwords
Hello there.
Is there any workable solutions to use crypt()ed passwords in pg_shadow?
And, is there a plan to differentiate postgres super-user from other
superusers, so that they, e.g., cannot change other superusers records in
pg_shadow (only their own and non-superuser records)?
Thanx in advance.
Sincerely,
D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]

No. You can do both. That decision was based on incomplete knowledge.
