The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1461 Logged by: Prabin Gade Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1 Operating system: win2k and xp Description: pg_restore fails to authenticate on win Details:
Description: pg_restore is not able to authenticate in 8.0.1 (in 8.0.0 it is working fine). I am starting the postmaster in md5 mode Possible Cause: Had a glance through the code. The recent addition in pg_backup_archiver (line 1724-1732) is causing this. Seems reading the password in binary mode is causing the problem. I checked it by commenting out the setmode for stdin and it worked fine. Looks like passwd is accepted as text in sprompt.c while the stdin is reading as binary ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
