Hi! 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

Look for a pg_hba.conf file this defines Host Based Access settings which
decide whether you trust a particular host, use identd, passwords or some
other method. The file is in your .../data folder with postgresql.conf etc.
