Description Christopher Browne 2011-01-18 09:09:09 UTC 
Documentation on clustertest configuration (https://github.com/ssinger/slony1-engine/blob/clustertest/clustertest/conf/databases.properties) indicates:

##
# Users with superuser rights that slony will work with
##

This contradicts Slony documentation:

http://slony.info/documentation/2.0/security.html

It is reasonable for some tests to have the replication user given superuser capabilities, but we should have at least one (possibly most!) tests that validate that replication works fine when the replication user is only given weak capabilities.
