List pgsql-general
        I'm trying to back up a database, including the user records.  If
I use pg_dump, I can get the table, but I cannot seem to be the user
information.

        If I use pg_dumpall, it seems to have trouble connecting to various
databases (in fact, it attempts to connect even if I merely want the
help page).

        This is with 7.0.2 -- should I upgrade or is this still an issue?

(I really just want a way to create a copy of a database, including
permissions and passwords, so I can make changes, test my interface
code, and then modify the original database.  Is that so wrong?)
