Greetings. I just downloaded the precompiled NT DBD::Pg perl package. It works great (actually, amazingly quickly - like at least 10x the speed of ODBC), but security seems like a serious problem. The only way the connection works is if I set pg_hba.conf to all trust - any of the authentication mechanisms (crypt, password, sameuser, etc.) cause a "permission denied" failure. The same script works fine under solaris. Any ideas? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J.
