Good question :) Given that the integrated-base-backup would call it for you, that one would definitely get it automatically. Given that the latest discissions seem to have most people wanting the replication role *not* to be allowed to log in and run general SQL, we should not drive the start/stop backup permissions from that privilege. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
