X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/-?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa96a77c97896dceeb5c4f6ecc101d41a18b56f5;p=users%2Fsimon%2Fpostgres.git

Remove initdb's rather gratuitous check to see if the backend created a
flat password file, because it never will anymore.  We had managed to
miss this during the recent flat-file-ectomy because it only happens if
--pwfile or --pwprompt is specified to initdb.  Apparently, few hackers
use those.  Reported by Erik Rijkers.
