Do you think that will cause problems? No, that's pretty standard. RPM installations for example have never assigned a password to the postgres OS account, so it will behave in exactly that way. Usually the only things you need the OS account for are to start/stop the server and update its outside-the-database configuration files, such as postgresql.conf. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
