im having a heck of a time here
if this is off topic please redirect me
lemme explain
im trying to set up a 'one user one database scenario'
while still maintaining the postgres user account
here is the prob
how do i set it up so i can do this
iut would seem this would work in the pg_hba.conf:
local all trust postgres
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust postgres
but then anyone can
psql -U postgres
and get in without password!
so i try
#local ident not avail! right?
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 ident postgres
and get this
psql: No pg_hba.conf entry for host localhost, user postgres, database postgres
even though it says 'all'
is this right?
or should i have to allow access on a database per database?
thoe other problem is that
local mydb password passwd
host mydb 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password passwd
would allow anyone with access to postgres to connect to this db
how would i strengthen this and still keep using the password ?
one would think there should be an extra option on this of user to connect
like
local mydb password passwd myuser
host mydb 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password passwd
myuser
or is there a way to grant perms on a database?
i could seem to do that !
so there seems to be a little problem in the clarity on how to do this
i looked over the docs and bruce's book and i could seem to get it together
any help
most appreciated
