The quote's from me, and even in the quoted part explicitly says "if you have a privileged account". And an admin user you just need to enable it, and it works without even the proxy user configured.
Please explain what's FUD about that?
The postgres equivalent this post is about a feature that's only granted to superusers (or in recent version user that have explicitly been granted rights that are equivalent to superuser and documented as such - namely the right to directly write into any database file...).
- hobs 8y agoThe FUD is someone saying Microsoft didnt lock down the xp_cmdshell functionality (which is the post I replied to.) I agree that the postgres and msft functionality effectively have the same level of permissions required, which is that an admin level user must take specific steps to allow this to occur.
- anarazel 8y agoWell, the comment was in reply to somebody asking for the postgres feature to be locked down similar to MSSQL's - and I think the "FUD" spreading commenter just was trying to explain that it's already similarly locked down. Sure, it could have been a bit more explicit about that, but attacking that as FUD seems mighty strong.
