It is pretty clear where we are missing group_file_update_needed() in user.c. We did not anticipate the group being modified by CREATE USER, so adding the group_file_update_needed() seems trivial. If a CommandCounterIncrement() fixes the problem, that also seems like a trivial addition. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
