Hello all,

I would like to use password authentication for pgsql users for remote
backup purposes. I don't like the fact storing cleartext password on a
system. From documentation, i have learnt that passwords can be encrypted
by md5 and crypt methods.

But we know, that md5 is rather weak encryption, so I am asking is there
any feasible way, how we can use SHA1 instead MD5?

Cheers,
Bohdan
