pg_hba.conf, md5 and .pgpass - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

Here is my pg_hba.conf file configuration:

What should I change so that it reads my /home/postgres/.pgpass file when I execute a psql –Upostgres databasename?

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only

local   all         all                               md5

# IPv4 local connections:

host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

host    all         all         111.222.333.0/24        md5

# IPv6 local connections:

host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

/home/postgres/.pgpass looks like this:

127.0.0.1:*:*:postgres:password

192.168.1.218:*:*:postgres:password

192.168.1.221:*:*:postgres:password

I have executed an alter user postgres with encrypted password ‘password’;

Thanks, Mick.
