Hi,
Could someone confirm that the ability to share the Linux system
/etc/passwd (or shadow) file with PostgreSQL is definitely defunct?
I've searched the archives and, as far as I can tell, this functionality
was removed after version 7.2 as "few were using it". Well we were using
it and we have thus been stuck with using version 7.2 ever since. We'd
really like to finally upgrade to version 8 but would rather not create
separate passwords for everyone unless we really have no choice. Is this
definitely the case?
Thanks,
Ed
