Hello.
Today i'm try to install postresql an init database

initdb --pgdata=/media/pgsql --encoding=utf8 --locale=en_US.UTF-8
--auth=crypt --username=postgres --pwprompt

password is crypted $1$qJzh/8AD$Q0wVsHF9XE9NmA/8uKjy2/

then i start postgresql and try to connect via psql following message
appears in syslog:

cannot use authentication method "crypt" because password is
MD5-encrypted

How can i use crypted passwords with pgsql?

Use --auth=md5.

Why? crypt is deprecated?

Yes, and removed in 8.4.
