[plug] database authentication

[sol]

Thanks Ryan.
I actually baulked at this because I read a post from Bruce Momjian on 
the postgresql lists site saying that passwords wouldn't be stored in 
pg_hba.conf as of PG7.3. But I suppose I ought to just fix it now and 
worry about the consequences later. Though no doubt the good people at 
Debian will find a solution as part of the upgrade.

Ta,
sol
