Having participated in that discussion about authentication, I can only
applaud the direction 1.3 is taking, in that case.
However, the above makes me wonder:
What happens when you plug postgres into (say) kerberos? All Kerberos
users become pgsql users? And all pgsql users are necessarly kerberos
users?
This sounds a bit problematic to my ears in the traditionnal context of
having "one user per CMS install", for example, on web applications.
(e.g. I don't want my Drupal database user to have an account in the
Kerberos database...)
