> What account is the postmaster service running under? Postgres or someother account?
Not postgres but a different account. The same username used during the "initdb" process. As for your information, the said account/username can get into any of my local database without problems. Only yesterday when I tried to connect to template1 or to any local database that it displayed the "Fatal: Invalid User ID: 0" for some reason that I dont know of. Is there any way we can execute a user-defined BKI so we could probably add new account in both pg_shadow and pg_user? > What version of postgres and windows is this running on?
