Hello Adrian,
No it’s not open, but the database itself has very simple credentials (I am just starting with PostgreSQL). What’s weird about the logs?

The above and the below look weird.Is this machine open to the world?* * *christan@vultr*:*~*$ top -p 3344758 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3344758 postgres 20 0 2443428 2.3g 4 S 282.3 29.5 5201:46 OElid7Dp Doing just systemctl postgresql doesn’t restart the process, I have to manually kill all the above processes then do systemctl restart. Lastly, in the journalctl I see the following logs: Dec 31 21:33:35 vultr.guest sudo[3340093]: *pam_unix(sudo:auth): co**nversation failed* Dec 31 21:33:35 vultr.guest sudo[3340093]: *pam_unix(sudo:auth): auth could not identify password for [postgres]* Dec 31 21:33:35 vultr.guest sudo[3340093]: *postgres : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/lib/postgresql/12/main ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/sysctl kernel.nmi_watchdog=0* Dec 31 21:33:52 vultr.guest crontab[3341582]: (postgres) LIST (postgres) Dec 31 21:33:52 vultr.guest crontab[3341584]: (postgres) REPLACE (postgres) Dec 31 21:33:52 vultr.guest crontab[3341585]: (postgres) LIST (postgres) Dec 31 21:33:52 vultr.guest crontab[3341588]: (postgres) LIST (postgres) What am I missing here, maybe I have to make sure that postgres user has sudo rights?
