su pgsql
psql database
ALTER USER username WITH PASSWORD password NOCREATEDB NOCREATEUSER
There is no error message.
I do restart posgresql and then check on Webmin. It always shows the same
configuration for the username: Requires password? No; Can create
databases? No; Can create users? No; Valid until Forever.
I can delete the username and when I create a new one with same name but
with new password, the result is the same. :((
Thanks in advance...
