Hi there,

PostgreSQL 7.4.6 gives the following error message when trying to read the 
private key in the case of:

-rw-------  1 root root 887 Aug 19 15:01 /var/lib/postgres/data/server.key

2004-11-13 13:04:42 [4095] FATAL:  unsafe permissions on private key file 
"/var/lib/postgres/data/server.key"
DETAIL:  File must be owned by the database user and must have no permissions 
for "group" or "other".

I believe that the checks in src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c:653 should be 
performed in a different order (first the access permissions and then the 
owner of the key) just to give a more appropriate message.

Thanks in advance,

<<V13>>
