Just realized the question I should have asked is: How did you get the pg_dumpall file processed by Postgres? In other words how did you do it without a password?
As user postgres I entered the command $ psql -f dump-all.sql In any case, I need to back up because I missed something when initializing the cluster. ps ax | grep postgres shows a number of processes, but psql tells me there's no server running, and there is no postmaster.opts or postmaster.pid in the data directory. I can delete contents of the data directory and re-initdb, or re-install the application and start from scratch. Advice appreciated, Rich
