PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta 2 does not prompt for password when requested:
Started by Dann Corbitover 21 years ago2 messages
I installed PostgreSQL under an account named postgres, using the
installer project.
dcorbit@DANNFAST ~
$ psql -h localhost -U postgres -W template1
psql.exe: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"

"-h localhost" is redundant on Windows - it's the default (since we have
no Unix sockets)
Is there a .pgpass file that it somehow picked up?
