I've applied patches to fix Martin Pitt's report of peer auth failing on
FreeBSD-amd64 kernels. I tested it with FreeBSD but do not have the
resources to check every other platform that uses the same code branch
in auth_peer. The buildfarm will soon tell us if the patches fail to
compile anywhere, but since the buildfarm doesn't test that
authentication path, it's not going to be as obvious whether it works.
So, if you have a BSD-ish machine, please try HEAD and see if peer auth
(or "ident" auth in older branches) still works for you. Extra points
if you find out it used to be broken on your machine. (Hey Stefan, did
you ever try that on spoonbill?)
There's actually no reason we couldn't test this in the buildfarm.
Turning it on unconditionally is a one-line change. Making it happen
just on the right platforms would be a few more lines, but nothing much.
It breaks the dblink regression tests, so we'd either have to get around
that or turn it off when checking contrib. I can add this if you think
it's worth it.
But I did try it on my FBSD/x86_64 VM and it passed the tests up till it
got to dblink, so there's another data point for you anyway.
cheers
