Is anyone aware of FAQs or HowTos for using crypt type authentication and
storing encrypted passwords?
I am mainly interested in two things: 1) if passwords have to be stored in a
plain text file (pg_passwd), can they be stored encrypted? and 2) is it
possible to authenticate with an encrypted password so passwords do not have
to be shown in plain text in script files?
At least, I would like to dispose of the pg_passwd file, which seemingly
shouldn't be necessary because of the pg_shadow table.
