Another question about these encrypted passwords. phpPgAdmin needs to
connect to databases that are sometimes on other servers.
I use the pg_connect() function to do this. This is passed down to
PQconenct() I presume.
So, can I specify the password to pg_connect() as
'md5127349123742342344234'?
ie. Can I CONNECT using an md5'd password?
Also, does this work for non-md5 host lines on the server, and how can I
avoid doing it on older (pre-7.2) PostgreSQL??
