Ricard Pillosu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Invalid PG_PWD Long Description We can't use pg_passwd to generate paswords for users, when pg_hba.conf contain : local password pg_pwd Firts, I generate password for postgres user, with the utility : pg_passwd pg_pwd After that, I try to create another user with password and the file pg_pwd that contained only postgres user, now contains only tue new user in an older password format. From this point, it is impossible to connect to postgresql with any user. I must to edit pg_pwd, delete the line, execute pg_passswd pg_pwd again and then all is OK. If I try to create a user without pasword, the file pg_pwd becomes empty. If I modify the file pg_hba.conf like this : local password without the name of the file pg_pwd, then the password system seams to generate it's passwords inside the pg_shadow file, and I can work normally. Thanks.
