ok, i fixed it by removing the postmaster daemon from init.d and starting postgres manually every time i need it, don't now why but it works, maybe it's a problem of user rights, but i'm too noob to know :P

hello there,

(it's the first time i use a mailing list...wow!)
So, here's my problem:

I've installed postgresql on debian as well as pgadmin(everything updated to last version).
Now, when i try to access my server on localhost with pgadmin, i cannot enter because it asks me the password. But i have no password, as it's just a first-time learning-purpose install! If i simply leave the password field empty, it rejects my login(
"Error connecting to the server: fe_sendauth: no password supplied"
). But, if i try to access the server with 'psql testdatabase' from a terminal, i am able to enter, and work normally.

I've also installed postgresql & pgadmin on windows xp (database different from the linux one) and pgadmin acts normally, letting me login and managing databases without any problem.

What's wrong?

thx
