Good catch!  In reviewing the revision history it appears this came from 
upstream.  I am guessing this is totally not what we want shipping in 
Fedora as postgresql based authentication is far less common and more 
difficult to use than passwd.  I will see if I can fix this... already 
very close to absolute development freeze. =(
