It might well have been the case that the "postgres" user didn't have a
password. Unix-based systems offer something called "ident" which may
well have been the default.
How should one port the config file from windows to linux? I am guessing
replacing the .conf file is not an option :O .. the hard ware is the same,
should I just go through them one after one?
There shouldn't be that many differences - although, obviously any paths
will be different.
If you feel like learning some command-line stuff you could try:
dos2unix /path/to/windows/postgresql.conf
diff -b /path/to/windows/postgresql.conf
/path/to/ubuntu/postgresql/conf | less
That's two commands, each on a single line. The first one gives you unix
line-endings in the config file. The second finds differences (diff) and
feeds them to a scrollable file-viewer ("less", which is a sequel to
"more" because "less is more"). Use "q" to quit.
