I am trying to authenticate POstgres using Pam. How do I do this. I tried using webmin on RH9 and telling it
to use Pam for authentication but it doesn't seem to work.

Hello, I'm new to both PostgreSQL and psycopg and I'm trying to connect to my database running on localhost. I have postgres setup to do md5 authentication and this works when using a db admin tool on my local network. For some reason, psycopg fails with IDENT authentication. >>> import psycopg >>> psycopg.connect("dbname=jlowery user=jlowery host=localhost password=XXX") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

I am trying to decide between using 1 account for web DB access, and doing the auth myself, or using the database's built in auth.

I am interested in finding out about Enterprise scale Postgres installations and clustering, especially on Linux. Essentially I would like to know the possibility that Postgres can store the database data in a central location (ex: on a SAN fiber array) and have a cluster of machines sharing processor/RAM/IO bandwidth to do the application processing. Or perhaps there is another solution similar to what www.emicnetworks.com have...

This thread was renamed. It used to be: "shared_buffers Question". The old thread kind of died out. I'm hoping to get some more direction by rephrasing the problem, along with some extra observations I've recently made. The core of the problem is that Postgres is filling up my hard drive with swap files at the rate of around 3 to 7 GB per week (that's Gigabytes not Megabytes) . At this rate it takes roughly two months to fill up my 40...

Has anyone ever taken a look at adding radius authentication to Postgresql? I know it's not terribly secure in itself, but some 2 factor authentication schemes like Cryptocard use it for verifying one time passwords, and at least in our case having 2 factor authentication for remote access would be really nice. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the...

Hello, I've got a problem inserting binary objects into the postgres database. I have binary objects (e.g. images or smth else) of any size which I want to insert into the database. Funny is it works for files larger than 8000 Bytes. If a file is less than 1000 Bytes I get the following message: Error message: --invalid input syntax for type oid: "\074\077......";

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
