Обсуждение: opening postgresql first time
Hi have just installed postgres and tried to open it using: psql template1 postgres and get an error ident authentication failed. How do I open the dbms to add a user? Can I do it from the shell? Bob
Bob, the sameuser special map is shown in the pg_hba.conf above (see its last line which says: local all ident sameuser ) In other words, sameuser says that the os username must match the postgres username. It is a special ident map. If it's includedin pg_hba.conf then it will preclude ident.conf from ever being checked. pg_ident.conf allows mapping from one user to another user, from system user to postgresql user. try just deleting that line from pg_hba.conf and SIGHUPPing i:) On Wed, Apr 28, 2004 at 01:56:53PM +1200, Robert Morgan wrote: > Hi have just installed postgres and tried to open it using: psql > template1 postgres > and get an error ident authentication failed. > > How do I open the dbms to add a user? > Can I do it from the shell? > > Bob > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org -- joe speigle www.sirfsup.com
I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but I become root and then 'su postgres'. This makes you the postgres user at which point you can add the user.

it should be psql -d template1 postgres no?
