seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.

What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.
Then run ./configure --enable-recode
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).
So if the relname is given to acldefault() in
utils/adt/acl.c, it can do a IsSystemRelationName() on it and
return ACL_RD instead of ACL_WORLD_DEFAULT.
The diff looks so simple and easy. But to find it wasn't fun.
It must have been there for a long time. What happened:
When a tuple in one of some central catalogs was updated, the
referenced relation got flushed, so it would be reopened on
the next access (to reflect new triggers, rules and table
structure changes into the relation cache).
Some data (the tupleDescriptor e.g.) is used in the system
cache too. So when a relation is subject to the system cache,
this must know too that a cached system relation got flushed
because the tupleDesc data gets freed during the flush!
For the GRANT/REVOKE on pg_class it was slightly different.
There is some local data in inval.c that gets initialized on
the first invalidation of a tuple in some central catalogs.
This needs a SysCache lookup in pg_class. But when the first
of all commands is a GRANT on pg_class, exactly the needed
tuple is the one actually invalidated. So I added little code
snippets that the initialization of the local variables in
inval.c will already happen during InitPostgres().
Enclosed is the regression.diffs file from running the Feb 21st
snapshot regression tests for inclusion in src/test/regression
as regression.Aix41. Appears to be standard differences to me,
error messages, fp accuracy and times off by an hour due to PST
vs PDT.
#define TAPETEMP "pg_btsortXXXXXX"
to:
#define TAPETEMP "pg_btsortXXXXXXX"
For some reason, under FreeBSD, it appears that the mktemp() value needs the
extra 'X' to improve/ensure uniqueness
below is the patch to have views to override the permission
checks for the accessed tables. Now we can do the following:
CREATE VIEW db_user AS SELECT
usename,
usesysid,
usecreatedb,
usetrace,
usecatupd,
'**********'::text as passwd,
valuntil
FROM pg_user;
REVOKE ALL ON pg_user FROM public;
REVOKE ALL ON db_user FROM public;
GRANT SELECT ON db_user TO public;
