Hello, I'm using PostgreSQL on my Intranet-Server. To make postgres more secure the entry in the pg_hba.conf for local users is: local all md5 If I want to make a dump with pg_dump, I have to insert the password. But I can't make a Cron-Job because I always have to insert the password!! Is there any way to do this automatic? H.

Yes. Use ~/.pgpass file. Search docs for more info on file format and other details. And next time, please, specify subject of your message. -- Victor Yegorov

From PostgreSQL 7.3.1 Documentation, section 1.10. Environment Variables:
PGPASSWORD sets the password used if the backend demands password authentication. This functionality is deprecated for security reasons; consider migrating to use the $HOME/.pgpass file. See Victor Yegorov's response (he also recommends .pgpass) and section 1.11. Files for details.
