Hello pgsql-bugs,
my name is Taras (from Russia). sorry for my bad English.

i have set the password access to connecting to the database.
hash passwords stored in the '/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_shadow' file.
for example, username is 'lanta' and password is 'asdfghjk'
When i'm connecting i need to enter only password (because user
name = user login name, i'm right? ), so...

servak:/usr/local/pgsql/bin# ./psql -h 192.168.1.1 homebase
Password: <-- entering password 'asdfghjk'
^^^^^^^^
8 - chars

connect is OK...

"where the BUG?"

servak:/usr/local/pgsql/bin# ./psql -h 192.168.1.1 homebase
Password: <-- entering password 'asdfghjkpmqwoeim10234'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i have added to the password
any char's and ...
connect is OK...

as far as i understand, you have reserved only 8 chars for the password
or i have found BUG?
