(Heikki Linnakangas)
</P

not transmit them to the server. So, if a user's password has been
set to the empty string, it's impossible to log in with that password
via <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>psql</SPAN
> or other <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"

>-based
clients. An administrator might therefore believe that setting the
password to empty is equivalent to disabling password login.
However, with a modified or non-<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>libpq</SPAN
>-based client,
logging in could be possible, depending on which authentication
method is configured. In particular the most common
method, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>md5</TT
>, accepted empty passwords.
Change the server to reject empty passwords in all cases.
