In particular make libpqrcv_connect() do - snprintf(conninfo_repl, sizeof(conninfo_repl), "%s replication=true", conninfo); + snprintf(conninfo_repl, sizeof(conninfo_repl), "%s database=replication replication=true", conninfo); I don't think it's unlikely that someone would try to enter a replication-specific password into ~/.pgpass. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
