In response to password encyption  (Ivan Horvath <i.horvath@alco.co.hu>)
List pgadmin-support
I have just written a doc about the encrypted passwords which will be in the helpfile for the next release of pgAdmin, and can be found at http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=19.
 
SSH connections are slightly different to the encrypted passwords - they encrypt the entire session over the wire, whilst the passwords are encrypted over the wire *and* in pg_shadow. pgAdmin with SSH is outlined here: http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=11
 
For the best security,  why not use both?
 
Regards, Dave.

Ivan,
 
I tunnel my pgAdmin connection through an SSH connection to provide security for pgAdmin logins.  You can use the standard SSH port forwarding feature to have your pgAdmin connect to PostgreSQL.  I believe there is now documentation on how to use SSH port forwarding with pgAdmin. 
 
I hope this helps.
 
Peter
