OK, that's a little weird. What is $HOME set to? On my box it's
/Users/dpage.

So it sounds like it's not writing the file properly. The function below is
the one that figures out the filename. It would appear that it would most
likely be wxStandardPaths that's getting it wrong if anything, but then it
works fine for me.

wxString pgServer:asswordFilename()
{
wxStandardPaths stdp;
wxString fname=stdp.GetUserConfigDir()
#ifdef WIN32
+ wxT("\\postgresql");
mkdir(fname.ToAscii());
fname += wxT("\\pgpass.conf");

#else
+ wxT("/.pgpass");
#endif

wxLogInfo(wxT("Using password file %s"), fname.c_str()); return
fname;
}

Regards, Dave.
