I think the point he's trying to make is that most of your howto is how to setup pg_hba.conf (which is in the docs anyway) and how to set up pam_ldap for a service (which is really a pam howto). It'd be nice if the docs at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/auth-methods.html#AUTH-PAM said 'you need to createuser(8) a postgres user too. PAM is only used to validate a username/password pair - the user has to exist in postgres as well.' and it will, once it updates :) -- 'When the door hits you in the ass on the way out, clean off the smudge your ass leaves, please' -- Alien loves Predator Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
