Thread: Authentication

I am trying to connect to postgres from a cgi script.  In order for it to connect to postgres,
I need to create a new postgres user that matches the Unix owner of my Web files.  I don't get an error on create user,
butI cannot find a pg_shadow file.  Is the pg_shadow file supposed to be in my pgsql directory or is it generated by a
commandsomewhere? 

I'm using my backup mail account to send this, hope it'll work...

pg_shadow is one of the postgres database files.

    % psql

also try

it's neat to discover how they hide those passwords.
