[stellation-res] why doesn't stellationd require a "password" argument?

I am confused about the authentication mechanisms in stellation
regarding the postgres database.

When I start a stellation server using "stellationd", I cannot specify a
password because there is no command line option. That means that I have to
set the pg_hba.conf like this
   host    stellation      127.0.0.1   255.255.255.0  ident sameuser

Then I have created a "stellation" user without password and a "stellation"
database. I have initialized the database and started up the server.

So far so good.

Now I have tried to connect to the database through the server using a
different user.

I have set up a postgresql user "florin" with the password "star" and 
run:
   cd $HOME
   svc configure default
   svc configure option location remote:bee:6060:stellation
   svc configure option username florin
   svc configure option password star
   svc -v test connect
   false

Bum!

The only way to get a succesfull connection is to change the username to
"stellation" and the password to "" (by hand-editing the .svcrc).

With stellation/'' the command line client works but the Eclipse plugin
requires that some password be filled in!

Also the plugin repository configurator doesn't properly save the dialog
contents when the "remote" type is used.

Could you please put a document with step-by-step description on how to
set the users and passwords?

Thank you,
florin

PS. Which is the prefferred way to discuss stellation issues? The
newsgroup or the mailing list? And why are two ways?
