Re: pg_dump still requires password

Execute the task as user postgres (crontab for postgres, not root) and
modify pg_hba.conf to permit access in trust mode (without asking for
password)

e.g :  local   all     postgres        trust

You can subtitute postgres for the user you need and the database too
(if the dump is not pg_dumpall)
