postgresql authentication postgresql-9.3 ssl dblink

                          I have two PostgreSQL servers:

server 1: 192.168.0.1
server 2: 192.168.0.2

I want to connect to the database on server 2 from server 1. I do it like this:

    SELECT dblink_connect('hostaddr=192.168.0.2 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd');

My question is that when I do such connect my password is send as plaintext or its somehow encrypted during the transmission to the server 2?

I use PostgreSQL 9.3 on Linuxx Mint 16 (server 1) and Xubuntu 13.10 (server 2).
