Steph,
The conversion program is no longer asking for passwords,
they are now stored in a file. So, you have to make the file.
The name of the file is '/home/slc8/.pgpass'.
The contents must look like:
*:*:*:slc8:<yourpassword>
*:*:*:babase_admin:<thebabaseadminpasswd>
Where '<yourpassword>' is your passsword (no quotes or <>s).
and '<thebabaseadminpasswd>' is the babase database administrator
password. (I forget the deal if your password has a colon in it.)
The file must be read/writeable _only_ by you.
(chmod u=rw,g=,o= ~/.pgpass)
