Обсуждение: adduser postgres

Hello,

I have a Fedora core 2 box and just installed postgresSQL 7.3.7. I added a
user postgres using the instruction from an installation menu: adduser
postgres. Then I tried to su - postgres, but it prompted me "incorrect
password". I did not enter any password while adding the user. Could some
body help me with this?

Many thanks,

Yiqun

You should be able to su to the postgres user from root.  Otherwise I'd have
to point you to "man adduser" since that's an OS problem you have.

I had a similar problem and I solved it by :
* deleting and re-creating the user with passwd
* Verify in pg_hba.conf the access and users (It is at this level I had
problem  from fields -be carefull with the editor- and the "identuser"  /
try to put trust in a first time)
* giving rights to this user to my db
* using  psql -U username -d dbname

I hope it helps
