BTW, while digging through my mail archives I discovered that Oliver
*did* already extract his "peer" auth patch and submit it as a proposed
patch --- see the pghackers archives for 3-May-2001. At the time I
think we were concerned about portability issues, but as long as it's
appropriately autoconf'd and documented, I see no real objection to
supporting SO_PEERCRED authentication.

I do still like Helge's API (use "ident") better than adding another
auth keyword, though.

regards, tom lane
