Thread: Setup for a db class
Hi. I'm running postgresql on a Debian box, and plan to use it for teaching a database class. While installing some graphical tools for the students (namely pgadmin3), I discovered that the students could see each other's work by simply browsing to someone else's database. What am I missing on permissions? Each student's database is set to be owned by them, but the contents are still browsable. Any suggestions on configuration for a similar lab situation are welcome!

Terry,
In pga_conf.hba you can setup to restrict access to the other databases as in:
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
# IPv6-style local connections:
host db1 usr1 ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff trust
host db2 usr2 172.20.0.0 255.255.0.0 trust
host db3 usr3 172.17.0.0 255.255.0.0 trust
