Thank you for your replies.  We don't have a CMS and none of our PHP
scripts call pg_dump so I am concerned about the security of our
system.

How can you tell, please?  It looks like output form pg_dump to me.

We don't have phppgadmin installed on this system.

# find / -print|grep -i phppgadmin
#

Anyway, "grep -r pg_dump $DOCROOT" turned up that one of our PHP
developers was trying to do a pg_dump in his code before making
changes "just in case, so he could roll back".

Sigh of relief.  Wipes sweat off brow.

Thanks all.  :)

Best,
