Yes thats correct with the IP address range. Maybe I did not understand the auth concept yet. I thought, that with METHOD set to md5, a md5 hashed password is required. The password is submitted with the PHP 5 pg_connect function - as plain text.

It is specified to pg_connect as plain text, but it is sent over the
wire md5-hashed.

So maybe the better question is: what is the difference between METHOD password and md5? As I assume now because of your answers, it has nothing to do with either the password is md5 hashed or not?

The difference is what travels on the wire.


ok thanks - I think I got it now ... ;-)

Cheers
