Is this really so? I don't think so - I think it depends on
pg_hba.conf
settings, just like any other user.
It does, yes. But most of the distributions I've seen tend to set it
up that way (as otherwise there's not really a good way to do
automated maintenance and backups, nor any easy way to
bootstrap the database).
So it's not hardwired that way, just typically set up that way (on
non-Windows OSes anyway - Windows has issues that likely
mean it's setup differently there).
Cheers,
Steve
