Dear,

The problem is detected but the reason is still not clear. It seems that if one is connecting via a ODBC link from a winbox to a postgresql database the link first tries to connect via username Admin, see syslog :

Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: verify_password: user 'Admin' not found in password file.
Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: Password authentication failed for user 'Admin'
Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: 2002-10-25 07:47:52 [2938] DEBUG: connection: host=192.168.244.37 user=icsadmin database=ics_poll
Oct 25 07:47:53 backbone logger: 2002-10-25 07:47:53 [2938] ERROR: Relation 'msysconf' does not exist

Does anybody has a clue what the relation msyconf means ?

With the settings in postgresql.conf as advised we found the problem thanks !!

Kind regards

Patrick

You could trace it in the log file by setting the following in
postgresql.conf


log_connections = true
log_timestamp = true
log_pid = true

You should be getting entries in the log file as -

2002-10-23 20:26:53 [18117]  DEBUG:  proc_exit(1)
2002-10-23 20:26:53 [18117]  DEBUG:  shmem_exit(1)

user=admin database=template1
/var/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster child[18130]: starting with
(postgres -d3 -v131072 -p template1 )

Hope this helps.
