Depending on how you set up your PostgreSQL, it might ask for a password on startup. It might help to post the versions of PostgreSQL and FreeBSD you are using. -- ___ oo // \\ || Gerard (_,\/ \_/ \ || [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ \_/_\_/|| /_/ \_\ || If today is the first day of the rest of ___|| your life, then what was yesterday? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best Regards, Rick Apichairuk ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I checked on the postgresql forum and received a reply. It appears that a program is attempting to query postgresql before it is started. I think it was dovecot. In any case, I reconfigured the rc.d file for postgresql to start sooner in the boot process. That eliminated the problem, or at least it appears to have done so. -- Gerard Forgetfulness, n: A gift of God bestowed upon debtors in compensation for their destitution of conscience. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've always seen it on my machines and assume that it's normal. In any case, you'll have more luck asking it on a PostgreSQL mailing list. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
