Re: [GENERAL] password for postgres
Kindly let me know two things to answer you. First, Are you trying to start postgres service or psql prompt? second, what OS is in your use.

User/role information is cluster wide. If you entered the above to access the template then it is in effect for all databases in the cluster. Are you connecting as the user postgres or another user? but it is not accepting both the passwords i am getting incorrect password after three trials it is returning back to command prompt What is the error message that you are getting? Have you set up the pg_hba.conf file correctly? See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/client-authentication.html for more information. when i have used select * from pg_shadow; then i got md5d31faa0b92fad4e2d8e4af34a30f890b I am assuming this is for the user postgres. though i use this i am not able to acess i don't know what to do with this issue can any one shed light on me by explaining me what was the mistake i did or which password to use thanks for any help Regards kusuma.p -- Adrian Klaver akla...@comcast.net -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
[GENERAL] Password for postgres
Hi all, I am using a postgres database, and want to set a password for the account. The default user name is 'postgres' and in order to set a password, I did an alter user as below, alter user postgres with password 'mypwd'; The command goes through fine, but the next time I log into postgres using the command, psql mydb postgres it logs in, and doesnt ask me for a password at all. If I issue a command like, psql mydb postgres mypwd it says, extra argument!!! I have checked the pg_shadow table, and it looks like the password has been set. I also have a trust entry for the database server that I am accessing it through, in the pg_hba.conf file. Any suggestions to get around this problem? Thanks! George - Need Mail bonding?

If I issue a command like, This is because you have trust in pg_hba.conf file, change it to md5 so it asks for password every time you log in :) psql mydb postgres mypwd That is not the correct way, just as i mentioned change it to md5 and now when you do psql -d mydb -U postgres It will ask for a password. -- Shoaib Mir EnterpriseDB (www.enterprisedb.com) On 3/8/07, George Heller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am using a postgres database, and want to set a password for the account.
