I'm a bit confused with your patch and comments. The bit that reads: -- +a default database first. In the following example we install a database +in /var/postgresql/data with a dba account 'postgres' and md5 authentication. +We will be prompted for a password to protect the dba account: --
Do you really mean a user account of 'postgres'? I thought this user was changed to '_postgresql' in out OpenBSD port. By "dba account" do you mean a system user account or a PostgreSQL database account? And exactly which step is going to prompt for "a password"? --- Marc Balmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am changing slightly the way we install a PostgreSQL server.
