Sharing /etc/passwd with PostgreSQL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi,

Could someone confirm that the ability to share the Linux system /etc/passwd (or shadow) file with PostgreSQL is definitely defunct?

I've searched the archives and, as far as I can tell, this functionality was removed after version 7.2 as "few were using it". Well we were using it and we have thus been stuck with using version 7.2 ever since. We'd really like to finally upgrade to version 8 but would rather not create separate passwords for everyone unless we really have no choice. Is this definitely the case?

Thanks,
Ed
