Thanx Paul but thats the problem. I cant su postgres or even login as postgres i get
authentication errors. I made a postgres user on the xp box but cant authenticate him in cygwin. I
got everything in postgres working, by login as postgres to xp and auto-login to cygwin. the
problem is running postmaster when im logged in under my regular name. To give you an idea of
what im trying to do, I would like to run apache, postgres and a hell of a lot of tcl-cgi scripts.
But to run tcl-cgi and postgres as a super user.. seems a little risky :-0. and stupid! so there
must be way to do it.. just dont know how... Thanx again!
Jared!
