I've created a .pgpass file in /root (which is read only by
root) containing the password for the pgsql user. A quick
Google on "pgpass" turned up this content from
http://pgsqld.active-venture.com/libpq-files.html:
This is a broken link (for me at least).

This file should have the format:
hostname:port:database:username:password
Any of these may be a literal name, or *, which matches
anything. The first match will be used so put more specific
entries first. Entries with : or \ should be escaped with \.
The permissions on .pgpass must disallow any access to world or
group; achieve this by the command chmod 0600 .pgaccess. If the
permissions are less strict than this, the file will be
ignored.
Thank you, I'll try this.

This is my pg_hba.conf file:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
hostssl all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 md5
The autovacuum script was packaged for FreeBSD, so I assume this is a
FreeBSD specific thing. My question is: why ident/sameuser not working
here? How can I enable auto vacuums without storing the password in the
periodic/daily/502.pgsql script?
I'm not familiar with the "sameuser" directive, presumably this
prohibits a system user from logging in as a user in the
database with a different name?
Ident sameuser means that the user will be identified with the IDENT
protocol. Then if the unix user name matches a postgresql user name, the
user can connect without providing the password.
Without giving 'sameuser', the unix and postgresql user names will be
matched through pg_ident.conf. (I think I'm offtopic here, sorry)
Best,
Laci
