Hi, does anyone have an idea how to convince psql to accept a password that is passed during startup of psql in the command line? I don't want to modify pg_hba.conf so that it is open for everyone so I have inserted: local all trust host all 129.157.0.0 255.255.0.0 password I look for something like: psql -h somehost -a dash anonymous/anonym where there exists a postgres user named "anonymous" and the password is anonym.
