Subject: [ADMIN] user passwords
why is it that I can sign in to the postgres database using PSQL without
having to specify a password for a user even thought one has been specified
in pg_shadow?
I signed in to Linux with my own personal id (which is NOT a postgres
account) and used the following command to get in:
psql -U postgres dbname
It let me in to our database as postgres (a superuser account) without even
prompting for a password.
Am I missing something?
thanks
Jodi
