The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 8365
Logged by: David Tonhofer
Email address: bughunt(at)gluino(dot)name
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system: Linux
Description:

Suggestions for documentation:

"http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html"

-----

"Quoting one of the keywords in a database, user, or address field (e.g.,
all or replication) makes the word lose its special character,"

-> Replace "character" by "meaning" for clarity.

-----

"Require the client to supply an MD5-encrypted password for
authentication."

-> Replace "encrypted" by "hashed" (as done in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PASSWORD ).

-> Actually this should be

"Require the client to supply an MD5 hash based on a password for
authentication."

...as the exchange is more complex than just supplying a hash.
