Обсуждение: pgpass
Hi evryone. I would like to know if the pgpass file will be encrypted in a futur version of pgadmin. It's not a bug but it could be a good thing to do that one day (and I think it's not very difficult, isn't it?).

The answer is most likely no. Encryption is easy, but what key would you use to encrypt it with? If you are worried about it, your best choice is to make sure your home directory is on an encrypted filesystem. This is supported on most (all?) modern platforms. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
