Hi,

Don't know the security options of the ODBC driver, so I have this questions:

1.-By checking the CommLog box on the driver, 'psqlodb.log' is created with the password listed there. So some clever
usercan just go and tamper with the driver and he'll find a way into the database. 
Can this be prevented?

2.- Inside pg_hba.conf, in the record type "host" lines, the USERAUTH options are 'trust','reject','password', etc.
Is it possible to use the 'crypt' option when connecting via ODBC? What are the proper steps to accomplish this?

Many thanks in advance,

Jorge.
