I just compiled and installed version 7.3.3 and am having a problem with
encrypted logins.
I built it using "--with-openssl" on the .configure command.
All seemed to go OK during the build and install. I created a user with a
password and am able to connect with psql using the password if pg_hba.conf has
a line like this:
host all all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 password
but if I change that line to this:
host all all 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 crypt
the connection fails with the message:
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "robert"
I am pretty sure I don't have the password wrong since I tried redoing it
several times using "ALTER USER".
I am using SuSE Linux 8.0 which comes with postgres 7.2. If I use the stock
SuSE installation I have no problem with encrypted passwords.
ldd `which psql` shows the following:
libpq.so.3 => /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.3 (0x40017000)

This is my first experience with postgres. Can anyone give me a hint?
