Passwords when changing users -> roles

Hi,

I'm upgrading from 7.4.x to 8.1.x and I need to move my usernames over to
the new roles. I can create the roles ok, but is there a way of transferring
over the existing passwords, or do I have to create new passwords for each
user/role?

pg_dumpall should transfer your passwords too.

Ah I see, I only did a pg_dump as I was just transferring one database to
the new server for testing.

Thanks for the help
