No response from kernel.org and the link still doesn't work, so we still have 2 broken links. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

If I recall correctly, it's the username and the password concatenated and md5'd, then "md5" prepended. USER=... PASS=... MD5=`echo $USER$PASS | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1` echo "md5$MD5" > If the algorithm is documented elsewhere, can it be linked from this page? I don't remember where I figured that out, and I cannot find a reference in the documentation either. +1 this suggestion.

It's password first. So change $USER$PASS to $PASS$USER -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
