(y/n) y Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y CREATE USER Use GRANT command to grant privileges to specified user. > 2) i want to add password to postgres user. 1) If the authentication mode is trust then it is simple. Connect to any database as postgres and using alter user you must be able to set password for postgres user. 2) If the authentication mode is any other, then you may not be able to connect to any database as postgres user, since you didn't set password for postgres user. So, set the authentication mode to trust and restart postmaster and repeat step one to set password for postgres user. Finally restore the authentication mode. regards, bhuvaneswaran
