Quick query -
I can't figure out how to password protect an username.
e.g. I'm trying to create
user: rasputin
password: obvious
createuser seems to work fine;
createuser -d -A -P -e
but psql never asks for the password, it just lets me in.
i.e. createdb -U rasputin babel
creates a database without prompting for a password.
I'm obviously missing something incredibly simple.
Postgres 7.0.3, all connections are local.
I tried tweaking the 'local' lines in
~postgres/data/pg_hba.conf (changed 'trust' to 'crypt')
and restarting postmaster, but that blocked the postgres user too!
I reckon it's that file I need to edit, but how?
(Or how do I set an initial password for the user 'postgres')
Cheers.
