Use pg_hba.conf to turn on password checking. Checking is done if the connection method, database (and connection source for TCP/IP) match a line in pg_hba.conf that requires it. You cannot turn on checking per _user_. It's all users or none. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him until that day."
