I tried the password file and could not get it to work on both Windows
XP and Fedora Core 4.

~/pgpass permission is 0600 on Fedora and I tested using psql and
pg_dump commands. The two commands prompted for password and target
database which I expected should not be.

Please, I seek for clarification under what context is the ~/pgpass or
pgpass.conf file used?

Thanks
