2001-07-31 PostgreSQL 7.1.2

Allows to specify "ident" authentication on "local" connections. This is done by getting the uid of the connecting process via getsockopt(... SO_PEERCRED ...) which to my knowledge is Linux-specific, but I may be wrong.

The patch does not contain a configure macro to enable the feature, add 

#define HAVE_SO_PEERCRED 1
to include/config.h before building to activate it.

 integrated in upcoming Postgres 7.2 release pg-ident-local.diff
2001-11-28 Linux-2.4.13

Adds true asynchronous I/O support to the Linux kernel.

This is a version of Ben LaHaise's asynchronous I/O support for -ac kernels. I made a number of cosmetical modifications so it applies cleanly against Linus' 2.4.13. The original can be found at http://people.redhat.com/bcrl/aio
