Well this is problem with a streaming replication standby server's recovery.conf file as the line primary_conninfo = contains said replication user's password for that connection. Is there any sort of plan to allow this to be md5 or some such encoded? Or what else could I do in this case? I have replica standbys that are firewalled from the primary. The primary establishes a reverse SSH tunnel to the replica, then the replica is configured as for a local connection on-server at the primary, just using UNIX identity. -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
