Hi,

does anyone have an idea how to convince psql
to accept a password that is passed during startup
of psql in the command line?

I don't want to modify pg_hba.conf so that it
is open for everyone so I have inserted:

local      all                                          trust
host       all         129.157.0.0     255.255.0.0    password


I look for something like:
psql -h somehost -a dash anonymous/anonym
where there exists a postgres user named "anonymous"
and the password is anonym.

Best regards,
Michael
