about pg_dumpall

Hi,

Today I needed to use pg_dumpall for the first time ever :)

I'm running PostgreSQL v7.1.3 on a different port than 5432 on RedHat.

This is what has happened:

bash-2.05$ pg_dumpall -p 5455 > all.dump
Password:
psql: Password authentication failed for user 'postgres'
Password:
Password:
Connection to database 'template1' failed.
fe_sendauth: no password supplied

pg_dump failed on template1, exiting
bash-2.05$

The passwd is correct. In the first attempt, it gives the error without
asking any password.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
