Question, I hope stupid, postgres user HAS a password right?
Yes, it has a password, I set the password from the installer, and I even reset it after the install was complete. I just tried this from the command line and it let me right in: psql template1 -U postgres Didn't ask for a password or anything, and the localhost entry in pg_hba.conf is also set for md5. -- Tony Caduto AM Software Design http://www.amsoftwaredesign.com Home of PG Lightning Admin for Postgresql Your best bet for Postgresql Administration
