Did someone do a createuser on your new server for the "user" in question? Sean

If you don't supply a specific user, the psql tries to use the current shell user name as the PostgreSQL user. So if "user" is not a real PostgreSQL user, you need to specify the user explicitly: psql -d mydb -U pgusername John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
