Database Security

Hi all!!!

I'm using Postgres at company I work for few time.
I already tried many ways to create a security for my database but not
sucessfull.
The postgres was installed with default configuration and I had definied
"postgres" as root user.
However, someone else user I create have full access on all databases in
my server, with some limitations.
How can I configure access level to a database? How can I force every
user type your password to access the database?

Thanks,
Danilo

Look at changing your pg_hba.conf file

If you have a line in the file like:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
change it to:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

then run:
pg_ctl reload

should get you whare you want to be.
