Re: Running postgres with a different user/group

[Gabriele Bulfon <gbulfon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx guys, all of your solutions are fine, but I could manage it in a different manner.
Modified the ident map file to map my special system user to postgres, so I don't have to
specify the postgres user any more ;)

Thanx!
Gabriele.

Hi Gabriele,

I forgot to mention one thing.

PostgreSQL creates a role/user inside the cluster with the same name as
the user that ran initdb.

Try and connect to either the postgres or the template1 database, by
executing:

psql template1

or

psql postgres

and then type:

\du

This will give you a list of the roles (users) inside the database.

Please make sure you specify the right port and host (or Unix socket) to
psql.

Ciao,
Gabriele
