why is it that I can sign in to the postgres database using PSQL without having to specify a password for a user even thought one has been specified in pg_shadow?
I signed in to Linux with my own personal id (which is NOT a postgres account) and used the following command to get in: psql -U postgres dbname It let me in to our database as postgres (a superuser account) without even prompting for a password. Am I missing something? thanks Jodi _______________________________________________________________ Jodi L Kanter BioInformatics Database Administrator University of Virginia (804) 924-2846 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
