Hello List, First time here also beginner to Postgres.So please forgive me for any mistakes. I'm pretty sure i have same problem.=> http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2012-03/msg00105.php (After searching it i found it) However it is not solution for me.:( *I'm pretty sure i'm doing something in wrong manner*. After issusing that revoke from public my postgres user still able to connect to any database. More over when executing \l user is able to see complete database names. So i have 2 questions: 1 ) How i can grant my user(s) to connect only to *granted* database not *any* 2 ) Users still able to execute OS (operation system) commands on system. This is a big security risk.How i can prevent it too. Any recommendations,manuals,helps,hints,RTFM :P are welcome;) Thanks in advance. OS: Windows XP sp2 32 bit+Cygwin. And here is what i'm doing (For *picture* my situation) ===================BEGIN============================ $ psql -h localhost -U postgres -p 5432 Password for user postgres: psql (9.1.4) WARNING: Console code page (866) differs from Windows code page (1251) 8-bit characters might not work correctly.
