Description: pg_restore bug
Details:
Hi.
I'm sure you're probably aware of this issue already but pg_restore doesn't
function correctly on the win32 builds and exists with
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "xxxxxx" failed: FATAL:
password authentication failed for user "postgres"
The password is correct and works for all other tools (psql, pg_dump, etc).
When the pg_hba config file is changed to 'trust' everything on the
localhost it executes as intended.
I've done a bit of research on forums and seen a few other users
experiencing the same problem.
