      I haven't had final confirmation from Peter yet, but the attached patch
      needs to be applied for the Beta otherwise password and crypt
      authentication just won't work.
      
      It puts back the loop in libpq and also fixes a couple of problems with
      maintaining compatability with pre-6.3 drivers.

      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.

      postgres backend processes end up as so called zombies. It seems that
      only Linux a.out (libc.4.6.27) systems are affected.

      Subject: [HACKERS] password authentication
      
      This patch adds support for plaintext password authentication.  To use
      it, you add a line like
      
      host         all         0.0.0.0       0.0.0.0           password  pg_pwd.conf
      
      
      to your pg_hba.conf, where 'pg_pwd.conf' is the name of a file containing
      the usernames and password hashes in the format of the first two fields
      of a Unix /etc/passwd file.  (Of course, you can use a specific database
      name or IP instead.)
      
      Then, to connect with a password through libpq, you use the PQconnectdb()
      function, specifying the "password=" tag in the connect string and also
      adding the tag "authtype=password".
      
      I also added a command-line switch '-u' to psql that tells it to prompt
      for a username and password and use password authentication.
