Does it make sense to have a security > overview section in the documentation? I think it does. As I think Peter is trying to point out, you could almost get the same result just by having a fat index entry under "security", but I think people are more likely to notice a chapter or section in the Admin Guide with such a title. Also, once we have such a chapter, we might find it reads more naturally to move some of the existing discussions into it, leaving only a cross-reference where the material is now. regards, tom lane
