Hi Phillip,
Thank you for your suggestion. So my script
file now looks like:
#! /bin/bash
PGUSER=postgres
PGDATABASE=canon
PGHOST=vixen
PGPASSFILE=winkwink
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export PGUSER PGDATABASE PGHOST PGPASSFILE PGDATA LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# echo +++++++++
# echo PGUSER: $PGUSER
# echo PGDATABASE: $PGDATABASE
# echo PGHOST: $PGHOST
# echo PGPASSFILE: $PGPASSFILE
# echo PGDATA: $PGDATA
filename=`date +%G%m%d.%w`.gz
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall > $filename
and I still get the same output:
Password:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": fe_sendauth: no password supplied
I just don't get it...

Try explicitly setting those variables in your script:
$PGUSER
$PGDATABASE
$PGHOST
$PGPASSFILE
$PGDATA
