Keep in mind, the password set for the unix account is NOT related to the password set for a user in postgresql with alter user password = 'mypassword';. If you are entering a unix password for a pg account that hasn't had the pw set, then it's not going to work. They're not related at all. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
