Обсуждение: newbie and no idea
A friend of mine just wrote a database for me using postgres. I have postgres installed but can't figure out how to change the passwd for user postgres. [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ps -U postgres PID TTY TIME CMD 4014 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster 4016 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster 4017 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# --------------------------------------- root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ps -l -C postmaster F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 0 S 26 4014 1 0 72 0 - 2446 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster 1 S 26 4016 4014 0 72 0 - 2693 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster 1 S 26 4017 4016 0 72 0 - 2451 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ---------------------------------------------------------------- [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# createdb -U postgres nigun_test psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres" createdb: database creation failed [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ----------------------------------------------------- Any idea?? I am also interested in getting some front end up and running. Thanks Aaron

One quick solution is to su to postgres before trying to connect to the database. Another is to change your pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf files to allow specific system accounts to connect as the postgres database account. A third option is to change pg_hba.conf to use one of the password authentication methods instead of ident.

Root doesn't need to know another user's password to change it -- just change it: [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# passwd postgres You will then be prompted for the new password. Also, root doesn't need a password to become another user: [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# su postgres Although this sounds great, this kind of power justifies the creation of a regular (not a superuser) user account for routine use, especially if you are a newbie.

Hi, On 18 Aug 2003, Aaron wrote: > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# createdb -U postgres nigun_test > psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres" Quick and easy solution for you: edit ~postgres/data/pg_hba.conf and replace all "ident" string to "trust". Then, restart PostgreSQL server. The server will not prompt you any password. If you want to learn more about authentication methods, then download the administrator manual from http://www.PostgreSQL.org/docs/#pdfs and follow the "Authentication Methods" section.

You can try If you know root's password, you don't need set postgresql's password. But if you don't known root password, you can't change password for postgres user (for change of password you can use passwd command). su root su postgres createuser aamehl logout logout createdb nigun_test bye Pavel Stehule On 18 Aug 2003, Aaron wrote: > A friend of mine just wrote a database for me using postgres. > I have postgres installed but can't figure out how to change the passwd > for user postgres. > > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ps -U postgres > PID TTY TIME CMD > 4014 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster > 4016 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster > 4017 pts/1 00:00:00 postmaster > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# > --------------------------------------- > root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# ps -l -C postmaster > F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD > 0 S 26 4014 1 0 72 0 - 2446 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 > postmaster > 1 S 26 4016 4014 0 72 0 - 2693 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 > postmaster > 1 S 26 4017 4016 0 72 0 - 2451 do_sel pts/1 00:00:00 > postmaster > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# createdb -U postgres nigun_test > psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres" > > createdb: database creation failed > [root@bzq-218-14-208 aamehl]# > > ----------------------------------------------------- > Any idea?? > I am also interested in getting some front end up and running. > Thanks > Aaron > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html >
