I am trying to figure out exactly how to set someone's password when using MD5 passwords in postgres. I am trying to automate some features, and still can't figure out what I am doing wrong. MD5 of the password is obviously not wha is used by itself, since that would be insecure, but I can't figure out what the salt is. What exactly is psotgres passing to the MD5 hash to make up that incredible unintelligible stream of characters that it stores in the password field of the pg_shadow table?
