Thank you very much for your help. You've solved my problem. But I still can not login to my PostgreSQL-Server. Here what I've done: " postgres@sussy:/root> createuser -D -P ricky could not change directory to "/root" Enter password for new role: Enter it again: Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y postgres@sussy:/root> sussy:~ # rcpostgresql restart Shutting down PostgreSQLServer angehalten done Starting PostgreSQL done sussy:~ # psql -U ricky -W Password for user ricky: psql: FATAL: Ident-Authentifizierung für Benutzer »ricky« fehlgeschlagen (I translate it: psql: FATAL: Ident-Authentication for user »ricky« failed) sussy:~ # ". I'm sure that I used the correct password as "createuser" the account of 'ricky'. Please keep telling me. Thank you very much in advance. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
