Re: PostGres Doubt

I'm using md5 in pg_hba.conf.  That is the method, no?

I'm writing a milter application which instantiates a private resource 
for each thread upon thread startup.  I have priv->conn which I 
establish as priv->conn=PQconnectdb(connstr), connstr is const char 
*connstr="host=10.0.0.5 dbname=bmilter user=username password=password";

It segfaults depending on it's mood but it tends to happen about 50-70% 
of the time.  I switched to PQsetdbLogin() which has worked perfectly. I don't really want to use that however, I would
muchprefer using my 
 
connstr.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
David
