Re: JDBC access with md5 password

Thanks for the reply.  I am using the driver that came with 7.3.1.  I did
a --with-java and am using the postgresql.jar file that got built.

The driver was build with JDK 1.4.1 if that makes a difference.

Yeah, there's something you need to do with the driver. Upgrade it to
the one from 7.3. :-) Then just send your usual password.

(The 7.2 JDBC drivers had a bug that, depending on localization settings,
could mess up the MD5 hashing.)
