Hi, all:
In the file of pg_hba.conf, I give the following parameter:
TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT
Local all password
host all 127.122.122.0 255.255.255.0 password
Now look what I got:
$su postgres
bash$psql template1
$password
What is the password for user 'postgres' ? How can I create one for this user?
bash$createuser dbadmin
Shall the new user be allowed to create database?(y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new user? (y/n) y
password: 'dbadminpassword'
FATAL 1: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
Createuser: creation of user 'dbadmin' failed
If I change the config setting to
Local all trust
I can login to template1 database and create users and databases, but I fail to give a password to a user. Look:
$su postgres
bash$createuser dbadmin with password 'dbpassword'
Now it seems the 'dbpasswod' became the created user.
Anybody knows how to create password for 'postgres' ? How to create a user with password?
