Re: [HACKERS] Connection to PostgreSQL Using Certificate: Wrong Permissions on Private Key File

Now libpq doesn't have any provision for DETAIL or HINT in its
locally-generated messages at the moment, so we can't just duplicate
the backend message, but we could do something like this example
from elsewhere in libpq:

    if (stat_buf.st_mode & (S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO))
    {
        fprintf(stderr,
                libpq_gettext("WARNING: password file \"%s\" has world or group read access; permission should be u=rw (0600)\n"),
                pgpassfile);
        return NULL;
    }
Hmmm... I'm not crazy about libpq printing error messages to stderr. The client application can't intercept those messages. And those messages will often get lost - many client applications don't have useful stderr streams (think GUI application on Win32).
