for user *user_name*
~/.pgpass
will be kind of  /home/user_name/.pgpass ?

But I can't do that, the users that are granted to use the database don't
have any user id on that machine,
so no /home/user_name directory either.

I'm sorry for *custom users*.
The project it's kind of cpanel.
A user can create and grant access for his databases.
And thx to pg_dump he can export & import databases.
So any user that have a db might want to export his data through his web
interface.

And I tested pg_dump with his options on command line and I couldn't get the
password from a file, accepted only from stdin.

Thx for infos
