I don't see how this could be a bug. If your authentication method asks for a password, you need to have one. If you have resetted it, well, you shouldn't have. Or you really want that your users could connect without a password, and then you need to change your authentication method with trust. But no-one will encourage you to do that. -- Guillaume http://blog.guillaume.lelarge.info http://www.dalibo.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
