This is reported as bug #23945 and #23699 against the package www-pgsql. It is a bug in postgres's GRANT utility; even when quoted, it doesn't allow the hyphen, although apparently the rest of pgsql works just fine with it. If you're having this problem trying to use www-pgsql, you can change your connect command to <! sql connect localhost nobody> (change nobody to whatever username you want to use with postgres, localhost to wherever the server (postmaster?) is running.) regards, Hamish (www-pgsql maintainer) -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
