Hi All,

 

We have updated our server to 9.1 the previous version used am external file for authentication (unix crypt), questions:

 

Can I continue to use this file if so how is it referenced in pg_hba.conf?

 

If I want to continue to use unix crypt passwords how do I get them into the database.  I have seen references to crypt and gen_salt but cannot get these to work.

 

Regards,
