Re: pg_hba.conf alternative

I did consider that, but the software we use (which again uses postgresql)
atm only supports local connection to the database.

I am the database admin, the other admins just manage stuff like user
accounts,
checking logs, etc...

Unfortunately there is no other way to set it up, and like I mentioned
government security is not required.

I did however statically code the pg_hba.conf file into pg binaries.

The only way I found to access the db now would be to replace the binary
and
possibly sniffing traffic. But we're not worried about that. They not really
criminally minded people.

thx for everyones help anyway ;>
