Small bug + solution pgAdmin III 1.12.0 PostgreSQL 9.0 Ubuntu Linux 10.04 installed completely from Martin Pitt's PPA https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql, but also reproducible with original Ubuntu repositories (PostgreSQL 8.4, pgAdmin III 1.10.2)
Scenario: 1) start pgAdmin from console: $ pgadmin3 2) warning appears on console: WARNING: password file "/home/mase/.pgpass" has group or world access; permissions should be u=rw (0600) or less 3) now try to connect some server by double-clicking server node in tree, error window appears and server is not connected: An error has occurred: Error connecting to the server: fe_sendauth: no password supplied 4) subsequent tries works, until pgAdmin close Solution: When I change permissions for .pgpass file as warning suggested, connection error for first connect upon pgAdmin start disappears and everything works like a charm. It looks like there is some lack in reading passwords from .pgpass when warning is shown. Keep up good work, guys!
