    Rename ident authentication over local connections to peer · 6f9192df
    Magnus Hagander authored
    This removes an overloading of two authentication options where
    one is very secure (peer) and one is often insecure (ident). Peer
    is also the name used in libpq from 9.1 to specify the same type
    of authentication.
    
    Also make initdb select peer for local connections when ident is
    chosen, and ident for TCP connections when peer is chosen.
    
    ident keyword in pg_hba.conf is still accepted and maps to peer
    authentication.
