Re: Errors in messages file

Dear,

The problem is detected but the reason is still not clear. It seems that if
one is connecting via a ODBC link from a winbox to a postgresql database
the link first tries to connect via username Admin, see syslog :

Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: verify_password: user 'Admin' not found in
password file.
Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: Password authentication failed for user
'Admin'
Oct 25 07:47:52 backbone logger: 2002-10-25 07:47:52
[2938] DEBUG: connection: host=192.168.244.37 user=icsadmin
database=ics_poll
Oct 25 07:47:53 backbone logger: 2002-10-25 07:47:53
[2938] ERROR: Relation 'msysconf' does not exist

Does anybody has a clue what the relation msyconf means ?

With the settings in postgresql.conf as advised we found the problem thanks !!

Kind regards

Patrick
