[Pgpool-general] Clear text authentication does not seem to work.

[Tatsuo Ishii]

I couldn't reproduce your problem. My configuration is:

- both PostgreSQL servers are connected with UNIX domain socket
- PostgreSQL 8.0.2 is used

These should not affect too much to reproduce the problem...
Anyone has experienced similar problem?
