Re: Postgres 9.1 client authentication for local, no password required?

[Wujek Srujek <wujek.srujek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I got it - it adds a new entry when I create a new server connection, set it to remember the password, and log in succesfully. It creates the file for the first time it wants to add an entry, if the file is not there yet.

Thank you for the good tip in the right direction.

Yes, pgAdmin is pretty much the only thing I use after initially installing and setting the password for the 'postgres' user.

When does it do it? How did I trigger that?

No, I don't think so. The only tool who can create this file is pgAdmin.
At least, that's the only tool I know :) Did you use it?
