Hi,
I'm working with postgresql-7.1beta1 on Solaris 8, and I get this error when
running initdb as the "postgres" user:
-----
$ initdb -D /opt/pgsql/data -W
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Initializing pg_shadow.
Enter new superuser password:
Enter it again:
The password file wasn't generated. Please report this problem.
initdb failed.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.3200.
-----
To whom should I report the error? And does anyone have a suggestion? I'm
new to PostgreSQL, so it's possible I've done something obviously wrong.
Thanks!
