Hi,
While reading src/test/kerberos/t/001_auth.pl I noticed it restarts the
server after every configuration change, even though none of them needs a
restart. gss_accept_delegation is a PGC_SIGHUP parameter, and pg_hba.conf
and pg_ident.conf are re-read on SIGHUP, so a reload is sufficient in every
case. The rest of the authentication suite already relies on this, via the
reset_pg_hba() helper that reloads rather than restarts.
The attached patch replaces the seven restarts with reloads. The test
still passes here (142 tests) and is a little quicker, since it no longer
bounces the postmaster seven times.
Regards,
Ayush
