I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are: - the protocol has a version number - network byte order is used throughout - the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4 or krb5) - support for multiplexed backends is removed - appropriate changes to man pages - the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service no longer has any effect - the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1 The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't break.
