PostgreSQL has internal passwords for roles which can be set with "alter role" or while creating roles. However .. The default setup allows "trust" access which means it trusts local system accounts to login as the same roles in Pg without specifying a password. It is also possible to setup Pg in such a way that it uses the system passwords via PAM without consulting the internal password. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
