Re: PAM Authentication and Postgresql 7.3

You must set the PAM's authentication file, you should have a configuration
file with the authentication settings for the postgresql server in pam.d
directory, for example if you auth file is "postgresl" your pg_hba.conf
file:

host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 pam
postgresql
