Thanks. I'm not really worried about this particular vulnerability, just wondering about the more general idea that having db user name = os user could reduce your security, even if only slightly. Is it just as conceivable that a vulnerability could come along that was more exploitable only if the two names were _different_?

what I read on that vunerability, it was talking about dbuser == dbname, not os user. and frankly, I didn't get their rationale for that.
