<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><FONT size="2"><SPAN style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Hello, i am using PostgreSQL 8.2 in a Windows XP pc. I know that this file PGPASS.CONF stores the users with password, but because this is a plain txt file, it is easy for "curious" people to read the contents.<BR>By other way, if i do not write the password there, my users will have to write it when trying to connect to the PostgreSQL, and it is not desirable when i have an application in Windows.<BR>I have to say that my WinXP pc has the C: partition with FAT32, and the J: partition is NTFS. The PostgreSQL engine and database are installed in J:<BR><BR>My question is ¿how can i protect PGPASS.CONF? or if you have another idea for protecting the passwords i will be very thankfull to read it.<BR><BR>bye<BR><BR>Guillermo Arias, Lima- Perú<BR></SPAN></FONT><BR> <BR><HR>Get your FREE, LinuxWaves.com Email Now! --> http://www.LinuxWaves.com<BR>Join Linux Discussions! --> http://Community.LinuxWaves.com</DIV>
