pg_hba.conf and crypt/password

i seem to recall setting this up before, but now i can't seem to
get passwords working the way i want.

i'm running 7.0.3 on FreeBSD 4.3-RC.

i've set the entry in pg_hba.conf to both "crypt" and "password".

i've used "ALTER USER pgsql WITH PASSWORD 'test';

regardless of "crypt" or "password", psql allows entry using "test".

what i want is for the pg_shadow file to contain encrypted passwords like
/etc/passwd, and for the server to encrypt the plain text password handed
to it and compare with the crypto-gunge in pg_shadow.

is this not what "crypt" is supposed to do?
