My selling point is that this feature is completely optional: if it is compiled in, you're allowed to use a new authtype "peer" (or so) with the "local" transport in "/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf". That's just like kerberos support which is also not enabled on all systems (and the "krb[45]" authtype is there or not, depending on that) This feature would work on all kernels that woody supports (Linux 2.2 and 2.4). Hurd support is an issue for the future, though. -- Robbe
