Hi here,
I'm trying to make my dump script working but it is not.
I tried to put my password in a .pgpass file into the home directory of the root user (so /root/.pgpass). Here is a cat of that file :
*:*:*:*:test
(I tried only with stars to be sure my rule was not too strict).
So, il I try this command :
root@pc:~ # psql -h localhost -U postgres
I get :
psql: FATAL: authentification par mot de passe échouée pour l'utilisateur « postgres »
(this is in french but it means that the password authentication method failed for the user 'postgres')
If I rename my .pgpass into .pgpass.old, I can log in to postgres with the same command :
root@pc:~ # psql -h localhost -U postgres
When prompt for a password, I enter 'test' and it's working ...
Someone understand where's the problem?
