I am writing a program to interface with the pgsql backend in c on a linux box. When I try to connect, it gives me the following error message: Failed to authenticate client as Postgres user 'root' using <unknown authentication type>:be_recvauth: unrecognized message type: 65536 I think maybe I should use the fe_setauthsvc function to change the authentication type, but the manual doesn't help on that function. User 'root' is a valid user for the database, and i've also tried other valid users to connect, with the same error message. Your help is greatly appreciated.
