Part of Postgresql 9.0…

I’ve contributed to another open source project, Postgresql. My first contribution made it into version 9.0.

I worked on the samenet and samehost host based access control feature, which lets you grant database access to hosts on the physical subnets that the postgresql server is attached to.

Previously many postgresql deployments for clients used to have 0.0.0.0/0 in the pg_hba.conf file, because more limited access controls were too brittle and would inevitably fall over when the client renumbered their network.
