One quick point - you don't need to alter anything in the template1
database to set user's passwords.
In PgAdmin III - use the "Login roles" section to set the passwords -
that way everything will get committed correctly.
Also, have you restarted PostgreSQL since changing pg_hba.conf?

Hi,
I have a quick question about my installation that puzzles me. pgsql
8.2.3 on a debian box. Tested it out the database works. pgadmin III
connects fine too. I used alter table on the template1 database to
give postgres user a password. I changed pg_hba to use md5 on all
connections including local.
When I use psql -U postgres -d myDataBase to connect to myDataBase I
do not get prompted for a password? When I su postgres and use psql
myDatabase I get prompted for my password?
Is there some reason why I can login using psql to a database when
postgres is supposed to use passwords for all access?
Probably a mistake I made somewhere along the line... just not sure
where, usually I get my pgsql install working great!
Thanks
Dave
