The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1461
Logged by: Prabin Gade
Email address: ga...@aztec.soft.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system: win2k and xp
Description: pg_restore fails to authenticate on win
Details:
Description: pg_restore is not able to authenticate in 8.0.1 (in 8.0.0 it is
working fine). I am starting the postmaster in md5 mode
Possible Cause: Had a glance through the code. The recent addition in
pg_backup_archiver (line 1724-1732) is causing this. Seems reading the
password in binary mode is causing the problem.
I checked it by commenting out the setmode for stdin and it worked fine.
Looks like passwd is accepted as text in sprompt.c while the stdin is
reading as binary
