All I am a new bie in Linux(8.0) and Postgresql 7.2. I have managed to get my postmaster running. I have also created a database and a user for myself. But the only thing that is NOT proper is that IT NEVER ASKS ME FOR A PASSWORD. I am able to log in without a password!!!!! I tried to alter the user with PASSWORD option but it just does not work. Any help is appreciated Vartul
