In short, I think it should be made clear that an encrypted user password
for all intents and purposes, is simply obfuscated. Encrypted implies
secure, and after looking into why md5 is the only option (see [1]
<http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/7083.1200929593@sss.pgh.pa.us> link
below), I feel that portion of the documentation should clarify intent.
The documentation for CREATE USER can be found at link [2]
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/sql-createuser.html> below.

I'm new to this mailing list, and couldn't find any "read first" documents
on conventions to follow - if any. Please let me know if I missed
something prior to subscribing.
Thanks,
