Anyway, did you try just leaving it "blank"
*:5432:xxxx:user:
=E2=80=8BAnd, "any value" makes little sense when it comes to passwords in =
.pgpass
- the password is the exact value it needs to provide to the server so what
specific value would it choose if you could tell it to pick "any" value?
The other pieces are inputs and so rightly can told to match any/all values
of the supplied item.=E2=80=8B
=E2=80=8BDavid J
=E2=80=8B
