Hello,
I was going through
http://www.postgresql.org/files/developer/tour.pdf and the source at
http://doxygen.postgresql.org/postmaster_8c_source.html
The pdf shows the daemon process doing authentication and spawning a
process to handle the request from the client.
The code has these comments -
"When a request message is received, we now fork() immediately. The child
process performs authentication of the request,"
Now authentication is done by the Backend process and not by the daemon?
Regards,
Jayadevan
