From d5bbe2aca55bc833e38c768d7f82c129b8b70c83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc G. Fournier Date: Mon, 26 Jan 1998 01:42:53 +0000 Subject: From: Phil Thompson I've completed the patch to fix the protocol and authentication issues I was discussing a couple of weeks ago. The particular changes are: - the protocol has a version number - network byte order is used throughout - the pg_hba.conf file is used to specify what method is used to authenticate a frontend (either password, ident, trust, reject, krb4 or krb5) - support for multiplexed backends is removed - appropriate changes to man pages - the -a switch to many programs to specify an authentication service no longer has any effect - the libpq.so version number has changed to 1.1 The new backend still supports the old protocol so old interfaces won't break. --- src/man/psql.1 | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/man/psql.1') diff --git a/src/man/psql.1 b/src/man/psql.1 index c867ab5777d..2c5137b4c02 100644 --- a/src/man/psql.1 +++ b/src/man/psql.1 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ .\" This is -*-nroff-*- .\" XXX standard disclaimer belongs here.... -.\" $Header: /cvsroot/pgsql/src/man/Attic/psql.1,v 1.22 1998/01/25 06:12:52 scrappy Exp $ +.\" $Header: /cvsroot/pgsql/src/man/Attic/psql.1,v 1.23 1998/01/26 01:42:53 scrappy Exp $ .TH PSQL UNIX 1/20/96 PostgreSQL PostgreSQL .SH NAME psql - run the interactive query front-end @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ Specifies an authentication system .IR pgintro (1)) to use in connecting to the .IR postmaster -process.
