Обсуждение: HELP! Passwords stuck in passwd file!
I am migrating from 7.2 -> 7.4. I can't figure out how to move the crypt()'ed passwords I made with pg_password utility into the pg_shadow table. All I can find in the documentation is (in 7.3 release notes) Remove secondary password file capability and pg_password utility (Bruce) Any ideas besides "re-enroll your users"? Thanks, Michael

We now perfer MD5, where we can store the information encrypted in the database, and use random salt over the wire. We cant unencrypt the crypt values so unfortunately you have to reenter them. You can do it using ALTER USER now. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
As a matter of fact, I was able to "hack" passwd file support back in. It wasn't too hard, but if anyone is interested in seeing the patch, e-mail me privately.

Yes, sorry I make problems for you by removing it, but that whole are needed an overhaul and keeping it in just added to the confusion. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
