I've already implemented this in phpPgAdmin trivially using the md5() function. I can't be bothered using a C library function :DIIRC the whole point of this exercise was to avoid passing the password to the server in the first place. Unless you are talking about a PHP md5() password of course ...
Yes...However of course in phpPgAdmin the password has already been sent cleartext to the webserver from your browser, and the database connection password parameter is still sent in the clear so...
