Subject: [CYGWIN] Can't switch the postgres user..

Thank you Roger and Jason. I downloaded the cygipc-1-14.1 and installed on my XP Everything goes fine until I do the step: 8. Initialize PostgreSQL (*when running under the "postgres" account*): mgonzalez@guaj215desa ~ $ initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "mgonzalez". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/share/postgresql/data... ok creating directory /usr/share/postgresql/data/base... mkdir: cannot create direc tory `/usr/share/postgresql/data/base': Permission denied initdb failed. mgonzalez@guaj215desa ~ $ su postgres Password: su: incorrect password As you see, I tried to change the current user to postgres.  I left the password blank by pressin ENTER twice. What I am doing wrong (again). Thank you in advanced for your patience.   MAGO
