I was meaning password encryption as Peter mentioned passwords in
particular. I was just regurgitating something I saw about Bruce adding MD5
to the ODBC driver on the ODBC list. I didn't realize PgAdminII already
supported it, my mistake sorry.

Do you mean password encryption using MD5 (which pgAdmin handles already) or
connection encryption? If the latter, how does the ODBC driver handle it -
through a connection string option? I know Bruce added some MD5 code, but I
never really looked at it.
