It seems that psql (or maybe libpq) doesn't like trailing comments.

This works:
10.143.170.206:5432:*:11026270:Blarge

But this does not:
10.143.170.206:5432:*:11026270:Blarge # Host name: fubar

(Don't tell me to use DNS.  I would if the servers would stay in DNS.)

.pgpass is a libpq thing.


The docs in a bit round-a-bout way state that a comment line begins with the hashtag.  No other mention of comment formats are given.
