Hi Jan,
The adding of the user in postgres is done after su-ing to user postgres,
but you have to make other changes to the pg_hba.conf file before you are
ready to go. You could refer to the section "Configuring RFT" in this
document:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/quickstart.html#q-rft-configure
It is quite well detailed and should be easy to follow.

Hi,
I'm configuring postgreSQL on globus 4.0.8; my standalone postgreSQL is running
fine. Now while trying to integrate it with Globus, I came across this
documentation page:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/ch10.html
Under heading 2.3. Required configuration: configuring the PostgreSQL database; point
number 3. says creating a user 'globus' being user "postgres"; If i try to
create user it does so.
But when it comes down to step 5; to create RFT database; createdb rftDatabase ; I need
to sudo to 'globus' which asks me for a password. When I try to issue a password to
'globus' from within 'postgres' user; I get the error message "passwd: Only root can
specify a user name".
Now I'm confused here; as have two users with same name 'globus' the one which
is running globus conatiner and 2nd is the one I created within 'postgres'
user. So at this step (5) while creating rftDatabase which user should I use?
Do I need to issue a password to 'globus' under 'root'? Or what can be possible
solution?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
