After looking at the perl script suggested by Joshua, I see that I can use crypt(), so I tested and it works. Of course postgres doesn't have a crypt() function :( I really want to be able to just insert in the database like crypt('plaintext') and have postgres handle the hashing. Is there a way in the config to change the auth module to expect a md5 hash instead of a crypt, or even plaintext?
