Обсуждение: numeric usernames in 7.3.1?

We use fully numeric usernames in 7.2.1 (e.g. '1001').

When generating 7.3.1 from 7.2.1's dump, everything seemed to be OK, but we
can't login with such usernames.

Is it a new behaviour in 7.3.x? Is there a configurable option or an easy
way to modify the source to retain the old behaviour? Or is the only way to
rename all the users?

Yours,
G.

This is a bug (just reported a day or two back).  We'll fix it for
7.3.2.

Thanks, Tom!

Is there a public (planned) release date for 7.3.2?
Where can I find such things on the web? Shuffled throug postgresql.org and
this month's postings just to find nothing about this.

There seems to be a bug in 7.3.x that prevents all numeric usernames from
being able to log in. For now I think you'll have to rename the users to
use 7.3.x :-(  but you might want to follow the thread because the
problem is being discussed right now on -hackers:
