[GENERAL] Solaris and Ident

[D Unit]

I've used Postgres on Linux for several years, and I have relied on the
'ident' authentication method for system administration and other tasks. Now
I need to get a postgres database up and running on Solaris. The problem is
that 'ident' authentication is not supported on Solaris. I can't figure out
how to do simple things, such as running pg_dumpall from a cron job, because
without 'ident' authentication the dump script prompts for a password. 

Does anybody have a work around for this problem?

I can't get the .pgpass file working. I think the problem may have to do with
the fact that the user's home directory is '/'. Is there a way to specify a
different location for .pgpass other than '~/.pgpass'?
