Hello to everyone,
I'm new to postgres. I Have installed a new SuSE 9.2 on a pc. I also
installed the Postgres which was on the suse-cd's. psql --version says:
7.4.7
PG_VERSION in /var/lib/psql/data says: 7.4
Here is an extract from my pg_hba.conf:
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK
METHOD
#local all all
trust
# IPv4-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
trust
# IPv6-style local connections:
host all all ::1
ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff trust
#local all all
ident sameuser
local all all
trust
~
~
pg_hba.conf lines 44-64/64 (END)
With this configuration my server starts without problems in runlevel 5.
If i change the last line to:
local all all
password
the server stops booting while writing "Starting postgres" to the
console.
Although the pc stops booting, the Databse Server starts, i can connect
the pc via ssh, and open a psql-session.
Also /var/log/postgresql says, the databse is ready.
Nevertheless, the pc stops booting on the point "postgres is starting",
and does not continue.
For me this is very strange.
Does anyone has an idea ?
I think, a script or a service tries to connenct to database, but does
not know the password. So it does not continue to boot.
Thanks for your help.
Bernd
