Using th new postgresql 8.4.0 (compiled)
On Ubuntu 8.10
I did an initdb, added a password to the postgres user and then
changed the pg_hba.conf to:
local all all md5
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
Restarted Postgresql.
If I log in normally:
postgres@ben-desktop:~$ psql
Password:
psql (8.4.0)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=#
But if i do :
ben@ben-desktop:~$ psql -Upostgres
psql (8.4.0)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=#
You can also do :
ben@ben-desktop:~$ psql -hlocalhost -Upostgres
psql (8.4.0)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=#
Note no password prompt either time!
Looks like a bug or am I not understanding this properly.
