For the past I ran PostgreSQL 9.2 servers on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT successfully. But by now, out of the blue, login as the database's supervisor "pgsql" remotely isn't possible any more.
The appropriate lines in pg_hba.conf are: local all pgsql md5 hostssl all pgsql 0.0.0.0/0 md5 The funny thing is: when login locally without providing a password (swap md5 to trust in the "local" line) and setting the password for the role "pgsql" via ALTER ROLE pgsql ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'FooMe"; or doing the same via pgadmin3 from remotely by also swapping md5 to trust in the line "hostssl" for global network, it seems I could alter/change the password for the supervisor pgsql. But restoring the password check by setting back "md5" leaves me locked out! By the way, this strange behaviour occurs on ALL(!) PostgreSQL 9.2 servers running on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT boxes. Ports databases/postgresql-XXX as well as FreeBSD is as of the latest sources and up to date. What is going wrong? Please CC me. Regards, Oliver
