[Mulgara-dev] Authentication in Mulgara

[David Wood]

OK, I get it.  My experience suggests that most people turn off  
database-level authentication in favor of doing that at the  
application layer.  Still, 'most' is obviously not 'all'.

I'll look into it over Christmas unless someone gets there sooner.

Regards,
Dave
