Hi,

I look for a way to reproduce the encrypted string stored as a password by 
means other than using the CREATE ROLE command.

When using CREATE ROLE........PASSWORD 'somepass' the resulting string for 
rolpassword in pg_authid always starts with md5, suggesting it would create 
some md5 string. So I thought to use SELECT md5('somepass') to get the same.

But the two strings differ. Is there a function that does that outside the 
create role context?

Thanks
Alex
