I got a reply from a pgadmin3 developer. It says that an username is always required and that "Error connecting to the server: fe_sendauth: no password supplied" is generated by PostgreSQL.
He also says that perhaps the users pg_hba.conf file has a password entry for the database above the trust entry. ** Changed in: pgadmin3 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: pgadmin3 => postgresql-8.1 -- "New Server" demands password https://launchpad.net/bugs/60606 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
