Hi there colleagues,

From the Docs (Admin 4.1):

There is no "fall-through" or "backup": if one record is chosen
and the authentication fails, the following records are not
considered.

Are there any plans to loose this restriction? It would be very useful
to use e.g.

local all ident admin
local sameuser ident sameuser
local all password passwd.user

and have backup pseudo-users in admin ident-map, allow connecting users to
personal databases and list exceptions in password file.

Or, is there another way to achieve this?

Also, of course, it would be _very_ useful to tell full connects and
read-only connects (not allowed to create tables/indexes/views/etc...)

Sincerely,
D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
