Hi Lance,

 I reinstalled postgres from scratch receintly. I recreated a role
with createrole called XYZ. I do not want XYZ to use a password on my
local box. How do I set this up so that it will not ask for a
password?

You have two options:

1) insert a line in ~/.pgpass file in your home directory for that database user (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/libpq-pgpass.html) 2) insert a 'trust' rule for that user in the pg_hba.conf for local connections (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html)

I would personally go with #1 in production environment.

Cheers,
Gabriele
