Message-ID: <E1vKyPQ-0076P2-0c@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Mention md5 deprecation in postgresql.conf.sample
PostgreSQL 18 deprecated password_encryption='md5', but the
comments for this GUC in the sample configuration file did
not mention the deprecation. Update comments with a notice
to make as many users as possible aware of it. Also add a
comment to the related md5_password_warnings GUC while there.
