Hi I'm trying to add a new DB user with the following command from my client machine: createuser -h my.host.name -U mysuperusername --pwprompt newusername I'm getting the following message: createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "10.0.0.1", user "mysuperusername", database "postgres", SSL on Now, it's true that our pg_hba.conf doesn't allow access to the postgres database. We did this intentionally, as usually no one needs to connect to this database. So I tried to do export PGDATABASE=sogis before the createuser command. But no success. Does anyone know of another way to achieve what I'm trying? I whish to do it with createuser rather than with the SQL command CREATE USER because this way I can avoid the password for the new user to show up anywhere in the history. I'm on 9.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.
