pg_hba.conf / password, crypt,md5

Hi there,

I think it might be a well known problem, but I haven't found a solution.

I've used a postgres 7.0 before. Now I need to upgrade to an actual version (7.2.2).
In the "old" pg_hba.conf I had the both lines in the pg_hba.conf:
local    all                    password
host    all    127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password

now I've tried the same but now I can logon as a valid user with an invalid password.
Postgres now allows to login with any valid username without specifying a password.

After that I'm trying to use other authorization types but it didn't gave me the
security back :(

Thanks for any hint.

Yours sincerly
