PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1
Operating system: Mac OS X 10.4.11
Description: Bonjour connections ignore hba config METHOD and always
trusted
Details:
I have a role configured for local IP connection with md5 authentication.
When using the postgres server IP or DNS name from a local network
connection, if correctly prompts for the role's password.
When connection with the Bonjour name of the postgres server, it ignores the
md5 setting and always trusts the connection. I tried with other auth
methods with the same effect.
This is bad.
