Re: Postgres User Password File????

PG maintains user passwd within itself in a table called pg_shadow.
But based on the error message, it seems like you are having problem
connecting to the server.
Try accessing PG from command line with something like psql(1) as in

psql -U proot -d databaseName

and see what error message do you get...can you connect to PG as a different
user ?
