Yes, I've read through the code a little more, and also the  
authentication discussion from last year.  I see where Chris is going  
with the db role-based access, and I agree that it is probably the  
best solution, and the benefits outweigh those which would be provided  
by a modular auth system.

That said, Postgres does provide for LDAP, Kerberos and PAM-based  
authentication, so it is still possible to have external  
authentication for LSMB, just one level removed.  I had LDAP in mind  
anyway...
