I have
just written a doc about the encrypted passwords which will be in the helpfile
for the next release of pgAdmin, and can be found at <A
href="http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=19";>http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=19.

SSH
connections are slightly different to the encrypted passwords - they encrypt the
entire session over the wire, whilst the passwords are encrypted over the wire
*and* in pg_shadow. pgAdmin with SSH is outlined here: <A
href="http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=11";>http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=11

For
the best security, why not use both?

I
tunnel my pgAdmin connection through an SSH connection to provide security for
pgAdmin logins. You can use the standard SSH port forwarding feature to
have your pgAdmin connect to PostgreSQL. I believe there is now
documentation on how to use SSH port forwarding with pgAdmin.

I
hope this helps.
