The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6412
Logged by: Andy Grimm
Email address: agrimm(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.2
Operating system: Linux (Fedora)
Description:
When psql prompts for a password, it only reads the first 100 characters of
the password. The limit in fe-connect.c (for when .pgpass is used) is
weirder, a seemingly arbitrary 320 bytes for all fields combined. Other
(postgresql-jdbc, PyGreSQL, etc.) have no problem with a 512-byte password.
It would be nice to have these limits controlled by a constant, and for the
command to give an error or warning when a password is truncated.
