We get this FATAL pg_log entry, just after Postgres startup. (Postgres does start OK) //9.1.3 on Linux 2013-02-20 10:15:46.637 EST 50eedb22.3602 0 LOG: database system is ready to accept connections 2013-02-20 10:15:46.637 EST 50eedb22.3607 0 LOG: autovacuum launcher started 2013-02-20 10:15:47.390 EST [unknown] rsaadmin 50eedb23.3609 2/1 0 FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "rsaadmin", database "postgres", SSL off Postgres is run under the linux user account "rsaadmin", but we don't have a Postgres role by that name. We use [-w] as an option for pg_ctl start. As I read postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/app-pg-ctl.html, -w . . . When waiting for startup, pg_ctl repeatedly attempts to connect to the server . . . My question: Is there a way for me to specify a DIFFERENT USER, that pg_ctl will use to determine postgres has started ? If not, how do people work around getting this nasty FATAL log message ? Thanks, -dvs- |
