The "Silent install of PostgreSQL on Windows" document states that "The service user needs Log on as a service, Log on locally and Access this computer from the network." If the PostgreSQL database will only be accessed via localhost, are these permissions still required after the installation has finished (ie: are they required to simply run the database). I hadn't seen this document until today and during my installation script I take away the "log on locally" and "access this computer from the network" rights after the installation has finished, and so far everything seems to be working properly. Or is just a matter of my not having bumped into a problem yet? - Bill ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
