Обсуждение: Debian Package problems
Does anybody know what's going on with the Debian 7.1 RC4 packages? It will not let me create any users or even talk to the backend.If I try to create a user (as user postgres), it asks me fora password, but it's not the UNIX password because I tried that (I changed the password right after I installed the packages).If I try to connect through psql, it asks me for the password again. It looks like it's using password auth instead of ident auth, which used to be the default.There's nothing pointed in the packages web pages, a caveat or anything. I've looked.

I've looked. Okay, I feel dumb now. It looks like Oliver Elphick (the package maintainer) changed the default authentication methods. Before local users were "trust" now they are "password". Thing is, if it's password, how do you know the password for user postgres?This (a note) should be in the package pages, or at least told the user during upgrade. -Roberto -- +----| http://fslc.usu.edu USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club |------+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net http://www.sdl.usu.edu - Space Dynamics Lab, Developer Go FORTH and C PASCAL play COBOL with an APL.

Noted. If you do export PGHOST=localhost you will be able to connect without a password, using the default method. -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."

I changed /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf so that local users are "trust" again (instead of password).You are looking for this line (already changed): local all trust That's probably not the safest way, but now that I can do something (because postgres can actually talk to the DB), I will change it back to password. > Windows 98: n. > useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and > a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system > originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit > company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. :) Remarkably accurate! -Roberto -- +----| http://fslc.usu.edu USU Free Software & GNU/Linux Club |------+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net http://www.sdl.usu.edu - Space Dynamics Lab, Developer C program run.
