Hi,
I have postgres installed and running as a service under user postgres.
Now I want to run the createdb, etc scritps as user postgres to create a
new database.
I have tried 'login postgres' from a bash shell, but this is the result:
$ login postgres
Password:
Login incorrect
login:
I know the password is correct, as I logged into windows with user
postgres to init the postgres system.
I also followed all the instructions in the postgres readme.
Do I need to make any special changes to the NT user account or something?
(I do not know the Windows environment too well - use it by force, not
choice) :-)
