Hi,
how can I let users change their own password but noone else's ?
I could restrict this within our client-app but then I'm skrewed when
some smarty connects directly with psql.

Uh, that's the normal behavior, no? At least for non-superusers.

aaaaaarghl ... right ... 8-}
Thanks Tom
Now, lets make it more difficult then.
Is there a way to have a sub-admin who should be able to create and drop
roles as well as change passwords for every user who is non-superuser
(or at least not for me and postgres).
I prefered not to get locked out when I delegate the user management.
Andreas

Yeah, in recent releases an account with CREATEROLE privilege acts like
that.
