Hello, I'm on Windows XP with postgresql 8.4 installed by postgresql-8.4.4-1-windows. exe with essentially default settings (only the path to the data dir was changed from default). I realized that sometimes (not always!) the server cannot start when I reboot my machine (I get error messages on the line of "Log on failure: Only an unprivileged user can start the server"; Error 1063; Error 1069). It appears that the postgres user sometimes tries to log on with a wrong password (or no password?) so that I have to go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> PostgreSQL -> Properties and retype the correct password. I would like to ask... - Why does this happen? (I have installed postgresql a few times on different machines and this is the first time I see this behavior) - Why is the postgres password wrong/missing sometimes but not every time I reboot? Many thanks for any explanation (Hopefully others will benefit from it... I spent quite some time to find out out to fix this "log on failure").
