Re: [gentoo-user] su postgres = cannot retrieve authentication info

2005-08-10 Thread xav guerin
I just encounter this problem.
It seems /etc/shadow is not updated while merging postgres, so you
just have to had this line to your shadow file:

postgres:*:9797:0:


It solves the problem for me.

 When I try and start postgres, I get the following error
 su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
 
 The same error message appears if I  try 'su - postgres', but not when I
 login as root or as myself. Any ideas?
